How old is it m8? I've had several routers go flaky after a few years' use. It might be worth substituting the power supply (12V?), sometime you can actually hear them 'hissing' slightly as they age.

Sounds like the lappy is at fault if everything else is working ok. Have you tried updating the wireless card drivers on your lappy?

Good point @rawsy- are there any other devices on the same wireless network? If so, do they suffer the same?

I have a tp-link TL-WR740N and I experienced problems connecting with my laptop using wifi (since my stand on my desk when I am at home, i use mostly an ethernet cable). Still, my son's laptop and others wireless clients (cell phones, tablets) worked fine. After a firmware update on the router the problems are gone.
