When you say that your wireless won't connect, can the SB "see" the
network and just fails to connect, or does it not see the network at
all ?

I'm guessing the latter from your post ?

If the former, is there any "hide SSID" option on the router which you
can switch off ?

If the latter, is there any possiblity of an IP conflict, i.e. for some
reason, the SB is trying to claim the same IP as your laptop and can't
connect because the laptop already has it.  Are you using static IPs or
DCHP ? 

If the router thinks that the laptop has a certain IP address allocated
and the SB tries to connect using the same IP, that could stop it from
connecting the network.  One way to check this would be to disconnect
the laptop from the network, reboot the router (which should reset the
IP allocation) and then try to connect the SB.

Also, does the router have any security log setting (my Belkin does)
that will show you when something tries to connect to the network ? May
give a clue what is going on.
