sounds like the router is configured to use the ancient (horribly
broken) WEP encryption, can you reconfigure the router to use WPA or
WPA2 encryption?


Without guidance I would answer no to reconfiguring.

Worth mentioning my PC and various laptops,ipads etc all work ok from
the same wi-fi signal, it is just this one netbook that fails.


Give up. You are too stupid to own a netbook

Maybe your netbook is configured to try and use WEP? And the router
supports both. Maybe your netbook can ONLY supprt WEP, in which case you
need to slap a wifi dongle in it


But since we dont know
- what make the netbook is
- what operating system it is running
- what router it is trying to connect to

it is all mere speculation.
