no icon for wireless network to reestablish a wireless

Buhal,

I am assuming that you mean to say that you cannot see the wireless network.
A symptom of this would be that in the "Choose a wireless network" window,
you see nothing.
Please make sure that your Access Point is indeed working and powered on.
You may need to click "Refresh network list" at least once.

Please try this from both the laptop and the desktop machines, and write
back with the results.
If you cannot make the wireless connection work, try pluggin the laptop into
the Netgear and trying to connect from there. You should also be able to
log into the Netgear's administrator web page and make sure that the
configuration is correct.
