no i'm unable to see it. my laptop can find about 6 networks belonging to my neighbours and the PC can see no networks at all but is getting internet as it is wired to the router

Sound to me like the SSID has been changed to something you don't recognize... Go into the router setup and change the SSID to WLAN-D529F (just something inconspicuous and different from everyone else)

the model is WGR614 v9. according to the router set up page SSID is enabled (in advanced settings).

...wee update

i managed to get logged on to the network somehow on the laptop but it displayed 'local access only' and i couldn't get online. then after some more checking it diagnosed the problem as my Virgin Broadband network being inaccessable because it may be hidden...??

still stuck : (

i've got to the stage with this where i can now see my wireless network on both the pc and laptop but when i try to connect it won't let me on either... really frustrated with this, i guess it's something simple i'm missing but just cannot work it out : (
