Is it an older laptop only running 802.11G? Perhaps the home hub is set to N only by default? Also make sure you have the latest drivers on the laptop.
What errors are you getting when connecting?

Not actually got to it yet, guy came round to plumb in a new tap and instead of payment asked me to sort it out for him, saved me a few quid! I was just prepping myself as to what to look for

Still bartering in your bit of the world then? Hows that dystopian future working out for you?
