I recently received a thomson st780 router free with my o2 broadband
package. I set it up with my desktop with an ethernet cable, and now i
can connect to the internet etc no problems.

The problem is that when i try to connect to the router wirelessly with
my laptop, i always find the router but sometimes i cant connect, and
other times i can but then the internet wont work.

Hopefully someone is familiar with this problem and can help me fix
it.

cheers

Sounds like radio (RF) interference. Try a different channel (1, 6,
11), and see Interference causes and cures in the wiki below.
