Is either laptop near the router, or in the path between the router and the laptop? That nearby signal will swamp the weaker signal from the laptop.
If the laptop is pretty much directly over the routeer, move one of the router's antennas so it's horizontal. That may help get some signal from overhead. (Monopole antennas are most sensitive at right angles to the length of the antenna.)
