Can we define your PCs? PC which can see wireless networks is Acomp and other one is Bcomp.
Acomp is working ok since its WiFi card can detect Wlans.
If your router has a problem, dealing with it via WiFi is difficult. Use Bcomp and check/set up router via ethernet; SSID and password etc. When you're sure that router is working OK, Acomp should detect its Wlan and you can connect after entering password.
Finally, for Bcomp you can disable ethernet card, enable WiFi and both PCs can now connect via WiFi.

Try checking the firmware on that router, wireless access point may have gotten turned off somehow. PCA should be able to log on to it using the default gateway IP in your URL bar.
