Make sure the router wireless setup includes the 802.11 "abg or n"
configurations that match the adapters on your laptops.

For example, if the router is setup for "N-only" operation (and some LinkSys
are that way...), then it will only support laptops that are in the 802.11
'N' mode. A laptop operating in the 802.11 'G' mode may not see the router.

So, setup the router for "mixed mode" and it should support 'N" and 'G'
laptops.

There may be another issue here, I encountered this one recently.

Good luck!
