First of all, I'm no expert on this, but I have experienced this in much the same
way. Two things come to mind. First, make sure the laptop that won't find the network
is capable of doing so: I have wireless B and G on my laptop, don't think it would
work with another "format".
The other thing I have done is unplug the router (kill the power) for a few seconds.
This isn't a reset. I had a family friend visiting whose laptop was doing this.
It worked on his. Very unscientific I know, but we tried all the things that should
work and this was the one that did.
