Amm, is your SSID hidden? try to make it visible and then Try to reconect
the second laptop after a reboot,
also is the wireless adapter working? Try to unlock it with rfkill:

(As Root in your terminal)

1.- sudo yum -y install rfkill

2.- rfkill list

3.- rfkill unblock all

4.- rfkill list


Hope it gets solved.
