I want to make sure I have everything straight:
Your laptop is unable to get internet via your wifi connection. Is it able to connect to the AP? In other words, are you connecting to wifi and then not able to browse, or is the wifi not connecting at all? Is it giving you an error?

Yes, I simple can not access the web through the router, the wifi shows it and states "no internet"
|
The iPhone is able to connect. Are you using the wifi connection for it as well, or is this over a 3G cellular connection?
When you say 'cabling the phone to the laptop' do you mean with the white Apple USB cable? So you're able to tether?

Yes, I'm tethering with the Apple USB cable

What happens if you plug the laptop into the router directly via ethernet? Do you have an ethernet (cat 5 or 5e terminated with ends that look like an RJ11 phone jack, but wider) cable to test that?

It works fine, just don't have a cable long enough to make that practicable
|
What make/model is the laptop? Running Windows, I'm assuming, but what version? The router's a Netgear, but do you know what model it is?

It's an HP Pavillion, Windows 7, the netgear is an N150

There are a few different things that could be causing this. Step one is to narrow down the exact circumstances. Answer as many of these questions as you're able, and we'll go from there.
Fair warning: my Windows troubleshooting skills are a bit rusty, since I don't really work with it on a daily basis anymore. You may have to wait for LordEden or one of our other resident MS dudes to be more insightful.
