wireless usb

I have a laptop that I want to use connected straight to
the router, and also take in downstairs and be connected
through my usb reciever. When I go downstairs, the toolbar
for the usb device shows its connectivety strenth, but i
do not see the network, and cannot access the inet. I have
a tcip protocol for it, but do i need to change something
else when i unplug from direct connection and go wireless?
Any help would be great.

Try running WINIPCFG and clicking the Renew button.
