so unless you excluded the MAC address of your NIC, the problem is not in the 
router.

# lspci  gave you the manufacturer of the NIC and of course you checked to see 
how Ubuntu works with that particular NIC. (either builtin drivers so it just 
worked or how to install windoze drivers and use ndiswrapper)   I don't 
actually know of any NIC which can't work with Ubuntu or Linux for that 
matter since way back in the '90s.  Windoze is NEVER the fix, only usually 
the problem.
