I have a wireless G router instaled on my desktop but I can't instal it on my laptop for some reason. When I turn on the laptop the Wi-Fi icon turns on but when I want to see the wi-fi spots detected it tells me there aren't any. Can anyone help?

On your laptop are u using the wireless G's software or windows to connect. They could be interfering with each other. AND BTW you should give a few more details. and not call you wireless adapter a router.

Your router may not be broadcasting it's ID which is a good security feature to turn on once everything is set up. It could also have a MAC address table on it, only allowing certain MAC addresses to connect to it. There also may be a hardware switch on the laptop that turns the antenna off and on. Good luck.

what type of router is it? does your wifi connection on your laptop support the G-band? if not, trying switching it to A/B and see if it works. tell me how it goes :-) check in your system manager to make sure you have all the correct drivers (start+pause/break)

....are you near any Wi-Fi areas? Dumb, i know, but you never can tell how experienced people are in this area.
