Wifi on iPhone but not not laptop or range extender

All of a sudden our wifi started acting up.  I can access the internet with my desktop via ethernet cable (no wifi card on desktop) through the router and on wifi with my iPhone.  I cannot access the internet with my laptop's wifi nor my father-in-law's laptop, and the wifi range extender no longer picks up the wifi signal either.  What has happened?  I have turned the router off and back on and I have hit the factory reset button.  Our ISP says it isn't anything on their end; it is definitely the router.  Any suggestions?

  • Brother in law reset the router, and now it works. Never mind the fact that I reset it 2 times myself. Unbelievable.
