Does the laptop see the wireless connection from the router?

yes but it will not connect. My old laptop would but it had a netgear wireless card because it was older

Hmm... Well I had an issue with a linksys about it seeing the network and not connecting properly. Was due to the security enabled on the wireless connection where you needed a key. Just had to reset the key on the router since I forgot what I had it set to.

I'm not very up to date on wifi talk.

From netgears site itself. It may help to have the model of the router to further look onto netgears site in more detail.

I have netgear, and it stopped connecting to my laptop wirelessly, we just bought some other router. But you could just plug in your laptop directly.
