belkins are crap, the antenna probably sucks... try switching the broadcast channel (try 1, 6 and 11).. you might be getting interference, if all three of those channels don't work, i'd suggest having him buy a new 10$ wireless adapter. If you're using encryption, make sure that's set up (not having the key would cause similar conditions).

You could also get an extra antenna to connect to the router, but that's probably a waste.

also make sure he's on the access list on the router if its using one.

you should be able to go to 192.168.1.1 and login to the router (admin/password if you left the defaults) and go through the config if you need to.
