if your internet is working only on your laptop but not via router then there is a possibility that your ISP has hard coded your laptop's mac address for internet access.
You will have to clone your laptop's mac address to your router.
That might be the case. One of my friend said the same. I may just have to call ISP and have them reset the modem so it is not coded to MAC address. Thanks for your help.

Time warner is known to use mac address of the laptop or desktop to allow access to the internet.

If the problem is ur modem saving the macaddress then u can get ur own wifi router and follow the following procedure..

Here's the deal. If you have one computer connected and you want to add more, you'll need a router like Apple's Airport Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule.
Unplug your cable modem from the power adaptor. Let it set for around twenty-four hours (less works, too, but make sure it's at least sixteen) so the modem will receive a new IP address and reset its MAC address memory.
Alternatively, you can use your cable modem's web configuration page (usually located at a 192.x.x.x address [available from modem manufacturer, not cable company] to reset the modem. [thanks Sun Baked.]
Unplug your router.
After 24 hours, replug your router and let it completely boot up.
Replug your cable modem.
Wait around five minutes for everything to work itself out DHCP-wise.
Test your internet connection by opening a page in your browser (Google is a good, simple test).
