Your laptop does not detect wireless network your PC is connected to the router and internet works fine. The laptop detects networks elsewhere?

The wireless is not enabled on the router or the SSID is not being broadcasted. Both of these setting are in the router configuration. I would recommend calling the router manufacturer and have them help you enable the wireless, it's different for each model. Your desktop PC works because it's probably using a wired connection, which is enabled by default. Wireless is not usually enabled by default.
