Seems like you're failing to associate to the router. You might try to
streamline your setup a bit:
Make sure you have the latest firmware for your router
Reset the router to the defaults
Don't use a hidden SSID
Turn off extra services (including MAC filtering) and all encryption
Turn ON basic WEP encryption - don't use "shared" access if it's an option.
If you can get connected, ramp up your security and other settings as
desired.
Sounds like your laptop is okay. Can you connect to your AP with other
clients/network cards?
It's doubtful the neighboring Belkin is interfering with your AP.
