 How new is your laptop, does it have wireless  "N " capabilities ?  I guess I'm just curious why you opted for the "g ".

Does your laptop even have a "g" capable adapter?

there could be some settings that i might need to change, although i am not to familiar with doing so.  the router is also a cheap version of the N router, even though my labby doesn't get n. I changed the router settings to G only.  What else does one normally do to configure the router.

" N " routers are normally backwards compatible, I would not set anything to " only " . Not likely, but that could be one of your problems. You might want to check and see what the network settings are as far as " full /half duplex " .
