When you say your new laptop picks up all other networks except the one in your house, you mean it shows the neighbours networks etc ?
That would rule out wireless being disabled on your new laptop.

On your old laptop, is the network name displayed i.e. is your router set to broadcast the network SSID ?

What is the make/model of your router ?
