Dead Router???
 Ok have a Belkin router been working fine last 6 months now suddenly when I try to connect my laptop (Acer Aspire) , It cant see router I have tried all reset button tricks from 7 seconds to 20 seconds to reset while pluging it in. How can I tell if it is router deadness (is that a word) lol Thanks for any input.

Well power light comes on as does the wireless light . Also internet light, Modem light is also blinking And number 1 is lit which explains why desktop is still working fine. Just suddenly happened now trying to go through the hassle of finding install disc lol maybe reinstall it?

If a wired desktop works, then you have a wireless issue - try uninstalling, reinstalling, and reconfiguring the laptop wireless adapter first. Verify the wireless in the router is turned on, and verify the SSID and security settings.
