Odd problem with belkin wireless router

Hi there, I've been having an odd problem with my belkin wireless router and was hoping someone might be able to help resolve it. Basically...

I have two laptops. Sometimes when I turn on one of the laptops, it connects to my wireless network no problem. However, a lot of the time the laptop returns a 'Limited or No Connectivity' message. But then, when I turn on the second laptop, this connects to the wireless network, which for some reason then enables the first laptop to connect too...! If I try using the 'Repair' feature on the first laptop without turning on the second laptop, it won't work; but after I've turned on the second laptop, both connect fine. I'm sure it's not a problem with the individual laptops themselves, as the problem occurs with both of them e.g. if I turn on Laptop A first sometimes it won't connect properly until I turn on Laptop B; and if I turn on Laptop B first, sometimes it won't connect properly until I turn on Laptop A!

I find it totally bizarre and have no idea why it's happening, so if anyone has any ideas I'm happy to give anything a try!!

As some background info: I use DHCP, with a Lease Time of Forever. I've tried changing the Lease to 1 hour, etc, but no difference. I use WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP encyption. If neither laptop can connect fully, I restart the router and then both can connect.

Thanks!!
