Do you have the router set up to broadcast its SSID name? As a security feature, you can set it up so your router doesn't broadcast its presence.

Try iStumbler and see if it can see it?

Uhh, that's definitely weird. This isn't as good as iStumber, but it'll still see more networks, give this a go:

3 things to try...
1. Try locking router to "Wireless G ONLY"
2. If using N @ 5ghz, try N @2.4Ghz or vice versa
3. Try changing the channel the router is using. Try to use one that isn't in use by other wireless networks in your area.
