Possibly, but if the case then you should get no connection to the wireless network.
Rules that idea out then. I think I might try various options when I go around there tonight.

Also try assigning a new WPA key (your own?) on the router and laptop

Dig into the computer thats now working, and checker there are no driver updates on manufacturers website for the wireless card in the device.

If the router is set for a US config then it may be picking channel 12 or 13 for the wireless connection. If the laptop is set to UK then UK law prohibits the use of anything above channel 11.
It's the other way round, viz Wikipedia:
Most other European countries are almost as liberal as Japan, disallowing only channel 14, while North America and some Central and South American countries further disallow 12 and 13.

Sorry, yes you're quite right, memory is failing me. Still important to ensure the right setting is on both router and laptop (so router could be set to UK and laptop set to US and problem could occur).

Update. The cure for this fault was a simple changing of the WPA security key pre set in the router. All is now well.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.
