Why is my wireless home network not showing up?

Just today my wireless network name disappeared off of my laptop. My tivo and Wii still see the network and are working fine. Also, my laptop is able to pick up my neigbors networks just fine. I have tried a few basic things, such as unplugging the modem/router, rebooting the computer, and using the "repair" function in windows. Any ideas? Thanks!

1. Pl. let me who is your internet provider...If its a DSL connection...do the following steps: 1. Power on the router... 2. Their is a small RESET button on the Router...Hold it for a minute and unplug the power cable while holding it down... 3. Release the Reset Button and turn on the router... 4. Check for the IP address of the computer...
2. Look at the router configuration. There is a setting to broadcast ssid information. Maybe this setting has gotten turned off. Manually do a site survey to see what other SSID's are available. Perhaps someone close to you has moved in and set up a new router that's stronger than yours. Lots of people use Default Settings for their router. I recommend you give the Access Point a different name. Change the SSID to something unique so it won't be factory default. If you had MAC address filtering set up and you changed your Wireless Network Card, you won't connect either. Give these things a try. Good luck.
3. press reset button for 30 seconds if that don't work reboot computer
