Setup Trouble

I have:

3x Ethernet Cables (OK)

1x iPhone WiFi (OK)

1x iPhone WiFi can't connect

1x Laptop WiFi can't connect (msg: NETGEAR05 No internet secured)

 

Is there a router limit of 4 connections?

 

Thanks for your help!

       Connected to what?

       "can't" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
    you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
    messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.

       With my weak psychic powers, I can't see how you configured your
    (unspecified) router, or to what you connected it.  Has it a model
    number?  Look for "Model" on the product label.

       No.  Do your wireless devices all use the same radio band?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Beyond the basic set-up instructions, look for the LED descriptions and
    "Troubleshoot".
