Your sister's machine "sees" it. She can't connect?
Have your sister tried connecting to the router by CABLE first to make sure she can get out with a wired card? (just unplug the one from router to your puter. You then have her plugged into router. ) Test that. FIRST thing to do after router to her lappy is to open browser (IE or FF). Clear cache and cookies. (Firefox. Main menu on FF. History menu. Clear all history. Dump it.) Check a bunch of different websites after the cookie dump. Like CNN, icanhascheezburgers, all that stuff that are known good websites.
Ok. So, can surf with wires. Kosher. Good good.
So why can't she get on the wireless network? That's the next question. Plug the cable back into your puter. Router-cable-your machine.
You need to get into the interface to change setup inside the wireless settings. It could be she's not authorized with no password, the security settings are tight, the broadcast protocol doesn't match...many reasons.
This is where you go get the manual and help from ISP to get into the damn thing.
