Ok since you can not do much with the router, I would try a different wifi adapter. However, it would be nice to see some kind of data like several screenshots of a ping to google.com or a bandwidth test with both the suspect wifi adapter on and with the adapter off/ethernet line hooked up to the new computer.

Edit: Have you tried a hard reset on the router?

quote:

Hard Reset (aka 30/30/30 reset):
The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set router back to default values:
With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds
