I'm not sure what the problem is so it is hard to give advice. That is one poorly rated router, unlike the WRT54G which is probably the most common router ever.

Does it work over Ethernet and not wireless? Do other devices connect to it now?

You may need to manually assign settings. I would recommend you plug in your laptop via Ethernet, rerun the install CD, update to the latest firmware on the router, and run the configuration script to redo the whole router.

What kind of computers do you have at home? It may be easier to get another router.
