All my computers, whatever they are, will search for available routers and wi-fi's. So your router should come up on the list.
There will be better qualified people to answer this than me, but I would turn your router off, wait a few mins and then turn it back on again. Try again to search for your router. If its still not there, then I am not sure what else to suggest....over to the experts !
