wanderer, I am anything but a tech guru. However, are the two laptops: the same year, same make, same model? Just a thought.

ps Advising people to press the reset button is not a good idea.
The reset button on the router usually returns all settings to factory defaults.
This would change their SSID’s, passwords and possibly their IP network which is not usually what the user wants. Unplugging the power cord and waiting 5 seconds before plugging it back in is the best method for ‘resetting’ the router.
