Does Size Of Router Determine Ability Of Laptop To Access The Internet?

We have a small Netgear router connected to our home computer. I recently bought a laptop and connection is OK at best. I have been getting "no iternet connection" messages constantly. I' thinking I need a larger router but not sure that's the issue. I am not a computer saavy person. Thanks.

No, the size of the router doesn't make any difference. Since you apparently weren't having any issues with your old/other computer, it must be an issue with the laptop. I recommend contacting a local computer repair shop to see if they can come out and look at your laptop.
