>>Sorry I didn't get back to your earlier. I have not tried disconnecting wifi because it is physically not easy (the router is in the corner with all kind of junk around it and the desk is in another room). But what I thought right now is I can disconnect the cable from the router and connect it to the cable modem.

I don't think the problem has anything to do with the router or with the cables. I am pretty sure it is with the network card in the notebook. Time to change the notebook anyway. Thank you.
