The suggestions you got from the web searches, was for your wlan card not
for the router. [?]

So let us get some valuable informations. From windows, just get your
wireless lan (wlan) card informations. It's brand and model etc.

If it is an PCI WLan card then just reboot into GNU/Linux (Xbuntu 12.04)
and then put the following command in the terminal --

*lspci*

and paste the output of it, here for us.  Along with this also put the
informations you have got earlier about the wi-fi card from your windows.

The router is a new Tenda Model W268R.  I looked up the docs on the router

Now a days the routers are much more standardized and they support all the
popular OS platforms (GNU/Linux, Mac and Microsoft OS Family also).

I found your Tenda W268R a GNU/Linux supported one. I could easily be
configured through Chromium/Firefox.

So From my perspective, you don't have to worry about your router but your
wi-fi card/wlan Card. Hope you will let us have the informations quick and
correct ASAP.

With regards
