Follow the setup instructions taht came with the router to check all the settings, channel, security etc.
Verify ssid is the same., network names etc.

Then verify that you laptop wifi adapter's settings match.
Initially I suggest you shut off all security until you have a working connection.
Then set up a secure wirless network. Most router mfg's have nice how-to's
written up on their faqs to guide you.

is this a modem/router combo? or seperate modem and router?

if this is adsl, verify the settings in the router are properly set to match the modem. also verify your modem is setup properly. if it is the model whether adsl or cable type, if it isn;t syncing up it can be on the isp's side.
