And within the right range for the router?

Just strange that it says I have an excellent connection, yet I
can't receive any packets :-(


Not strange, it just shows that the hardware is working but that the
higher level software protocols aren't. The none thinking way out is
to ensure that DHCP is enabled in the router (probably is as other
machines talk without fuss) and in the settings for wireless interface
in your laptop. I'm not a windows users but ISTR that there is a check
box labled something along the lines of "Determine settings
automatically" within the properties of the interface.
