Your laptop's wifi is not properly configured. Under Wireless Network connection Properties, Wireless Network tab, unclick the box "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings". Use your laptop's wifi software to configure.

A little more info, perhaps? What laptop do you have? Which OS is it running? What errors are given when you try to connect to the wireless network?

not likely a router problem. Your wireless network configuration is different than the wired nic. You need to check to see if your wireless configuration on the router requires a password, if your MAC address is blocked, if your NIC is enabled, etc.
