What are the models of the three laptops? Which is working, which two don't?
Are they using security (WPA-*, WEP)? Are they all broadcasting their SSID?

If you drop to a terminal and do:

        sudo iwconfig eth0 essid $NAME;
        sudo dhclient eth0;

for the two not-working APs, can you associate?
