Where is my wireless network???

My friend gave me a used Belkin F5D7230-4 2.4ghz - 802.11g Wireless Router without it's USB Adapter and Installation CD. I was excited that finally I could connect to the internet wirelessly with my laptop. I spent a whole day just trying to set up the router, to make it work (I had this 169.254.x.x IP problem, but figured it out). So now I have internet on all the computers, everything is fine, except my laptop can't find any wireless network.
I've read many forums, and tried several things, probably my bigest problem is that I don't understand everything very clearly.

Internet Settings:
Connection Type PPPoE (I have a username and password)
Subnet mask 255.0.0.0
Wan IP 81.182.28.251
Default gateway 145.236.238.185
DNS Address 84.2.44.1, 84.2.46.1 (Automatic from ISP)

LAN Settings:
IP address 192.168.2.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server Enabled

Features:
NAT Enabled
Firewall Settings Enabled
Security Disabled
SSID BELKIN
Wireless Channel 1 (I've tried a few of them from 1 to 11)
Wireless Mode g only (I've tried "b only" and "b and g")
Broadcast SSID On
Protected Mode On
802.11e QoS Off

Use as Access Point Disabled

These are the settings for the router.

I've tried the "Setup a wireless network" wizzard
(and instead the "Use USB flash drive" - wich would have been easier, I had to choose "Set up a network manually")

At the end I got the following settings:

Network Name (SSID): BELKIN
Network Key (WEP/WPA Key): 5aace30f9e8749c09ec22ed621
Key Provided Automatically (802.1x): 0
Network Authentication Type: open
Data Encryption Type: WEP
Connection Type: ESS
Key Index:

Under Wireless Network Connection Properities/BELKIN properties I made sure these settings are the same as above.

There is a little program EVEREST Home Edition, it shows my Network Adapters on my laptop
Under Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN Adapter:
Connection Speed 54Mbps
MTU 1500 bytes
WLAN Signal Strength -10 dBm (Excellent)
DHCP 192.168.1.1


I've downloaded the newest Firmware Update for the BELKIN router.
Also tried to stop Wireless Zero Configuration but that made it worse.

I'm sure you guys know all these stuff, which is kinda like Chinese to me, but please help because I'm running out of ideas what to do....

Thanx!!!

Do not use "Belkin" as an SSID as there are a lot of them and your laptop may try to connect to them rather than your own network. Give it a unique SSID .
When setting up your network make sure you can get it working without any encryption first, when it is working then add encryption.
