Just to expand on the questions you have been asked.

What other equipment are you using to connect to the internet?

It may sound a little "daft" to ask which country it was bought from, but in France for instance they have specific frequencies that Wireless (WiFi) devices are allowed to run on - I don't think country has such strict regulations. The equipment you use to connect to the internet will also affect your connection.

Are you trying to use an Access Point (Internet) or Ad-Hoc (Peer-Peer sharing)?

Yeah I've heard of that James, it's odd.

I'm sorry I think we need some more information........what model is your wireless router? Are you using an unsecured network (No WEP)? Have you set the SSID to be broadcast (Which would be the first step I think for you)
