Very odd, if you have similar issues with or without the router, that rules out your network. It's either the modem or your computer settings.

Have a look at the drivers loaded for the network card on your PC. Are there newer versions available? Check also the settings for the internet connection on that card. Does it obtain everything dynamically? Is the card set to autonegotiate speeds.

Have a look too at energy saving settings on the PC - does it make any difference iif things like standby and hard disk shutdowns are disabled?
