Can't connect wirelessly to router

On Monday I bought a new ipod touch. I could find my router and connect to the internet through it no problem. It could do the same on my desktop PC and on my laptop as I have been able to for the last year.
However at about 11pm on Monday I couldn't connect, on my computers or ipod. My ipod picks up the connection but cannot connect and my laptop does not find the connection at all. I can connect if I plug in an ethernet cable between router and laptop.
Have reinstalled the router completely but the same problem continues. I cannot log into my router with the correct username and password, not locally or from my username.plus.com
Not sure what's happened...as all has been fine up until now. Spent most of yesterday evening trying to work it out to no avail.
I am in Aberdeenshire if you know of any outages.
cheers

Is there any chance that you could use a cable to connect your computer to your router to see if you can log into your router at all?

Login to your router using an ethernet connection and have a look at the set up for wireless. Good luck.

Hi James - yes I can connect to the internet in this way, however after reinstalling the router completely I can't connect. I couldn't log into the router before with what I am sure is the correct username/password and I still can't.
I want to know what exactly could have happened that one minute I can connect with laptop and ipod, 10 mins later I can't. Very odd! I haven't changed anything at all.
The ipod picks up the connection name, allows me to enter the password, but can't connect. My laptop can't find the wireless connection at all.
I have removed the security for the time being but still no luck!
cheers

What happens when you completely remove the security on the router? Does it still ask you for a password when you tell your iPod Touch to connect?

Have you tried doing a factory reset of your router and then reconfiguring it? There should be a pin sized hole in the back of your router than you would need to hold down for about 15 seconds.

yes I've done that. Went through the whole install again but without setting a password this time.
