Toshiba wireless problem

Hi, I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite pro L100 which has a built in wireless card, a Atheros AR5005g. I have enabled the wireless card via the switch on the laptop and then I let it search for available networks. It does find 4 -5 either secured or unsecured networks in my area, but it does not find my router which is approx 3 metres away !!! I have tried to manually setup my network to see if the laptop can locate it, but no success. I used to use a network card in my previous laptop, a Belkin 802.11g which i then inserted into the laptop and bingo excellent connection at 54mps. But I want to use the in-built wireless card which does pick up an unsecured network from somewhere in my area but the signal is low and is very slow. Can anybody please help me?? Rgds,

Is the NIC set to obtain an IP from the DHCP server? Is the DHCP server running? You can always try a static IP or you can use one of the other networks that it found.

Thanks don2006 for your reply. The NIC is set to obtain an IP from the DHCP, and the DHCP server is running. I don't want to use one of the networks found outside because the signal is very poor and the speed is slow, and besides I have a perfectly good router at home that I want to use. Rgds,
Lucifer.

I'm having the exact same problem with my new Toshiba or so it seems. Just bought a new Satellite laptop last week and I'm able to connect to other wireless networks, but can't connect to my own. My previous laptops worked just fine so something tells me the issue is specific to my new laptop configurations.
