Can you not connect your wireless router via Ethernet to the desktop then just use the laptop as wireless ?
I use the same router as you do. Im assuming that you know how to log onto the settings page ?
With the router plugged into the desktop via an ethernet cable ........
Open IE
type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar
username = admin
password = password ( as default )
On the left hand side you will see "LAN setup"
Ensure that the box titled " use router as DHCP server " is ticked.
Other than that - change the broadcast channel as has already been mentioned. This is good advice. This you will find under "wireless settings".
The default for the DG834G is channel 11 - try channel 2 for example. You`ll not need to alter your wireless settings on your laptop other than maybe a reboot.
Also - if you look on the back of the router and tell me which version you have got then i`ll tell you which firmware you should be on. They go from v 1 to v5 if i recall correctly.
Cheers
