remember I couldn't get my wireless to work, well I put it down to my broadband package not being the right one...
well lovely man from india 
assured me that aol will work on any package,
and after trying all sorts of ways, step by step we failed,,,,
therefore it must be the laptop!
soooooo Im going to buy a wiress card (thats what i need right?)

What make and model is your laptop?
It doesn't have a hardware switch on it by any chance?

just one last thing before you buy anything...
try changing the SSID on your router.

the router is protected right? to me it sounds like you just need to configure it
