I assume you have cloned the routers MAC address to be the same one as your PC network card?

It sounds very much that the IP address that had been assigned to your router MAC address was being DoS'd (denial of service) in some way, because as soon as you swapped to USB, and therefore obtained a new IP address the problem dissapeared.
