A wireless router is capable of allowing multiple connections, even if they are secure. All connections share the wireless router's signal. To add a second laptop, you need to have access to the router's security info, depending on the type of security enabled on the router. Usually it's a WEP key that you need. If you don't know your WEP key, log in to your router's management tool and find it on one of the tabs. To log in to the management tool, make sure you can get a signal from your router, then open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 or 192.168.0.1. One of those should take you to something that looks like a web page for your router.
If those don't work, and you ARE at least getting a signal from your router, then go to *Start* "Run* and enter "cmd". This brings up something that looks like DOS. enter "ipconfig"
That will give you a default gateway. This is the IP address for your router. Enter that as your URL and that will take you to the router management tool.

You can have multiple secure connections to a wireless router. The limit is really the performance of the router, but 4 or 5 should be easily acomplished.
Add additional ones the same as the first, using the same SSID for the router and whatever you used for security, WEP, WPA password, etc. If you log into the router you can get that info.
