resetting router and can't get a connection?

I had to reset my router. I get an excellent signal on my laptop, but no internet connection. I've tried getting a LAN connection to my laptop to re-setup the router, but I can't. I can only get a LAN connection to my desktop, which doesn't have a wireless card so I can't set-up the router using this PC. What should I try next?

    Okay try this. Get on your laptop and Start, All Programs, Accessories, and Command Prompt. Right click on Command Prompt. Choose to run as administrator. Type in ipconfig/release followed by ipconfig/renew

    The commands are

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig/renew

    Or you could just restart your laptop.
