Agree with you. My first suspicion might be your wifi card.
How about trying to connect the desktop directly to the router via an
ethernet cable and see if it works that way?
I once had a desktop that displayed this same behavior and
couldnwirelessly contact the router whatever we tried. Over several
months, more out of curiosity rather than expecting to solve it, we tried
several routers and wireless cards to no avail -- with the direct connect
ethernet cable, it worked flawlessly.
We never figured out twhy the desktop lost its wireless capability; but,
deciding to reinstall Windows for other easons, it found the router the
first time around.
No, I don't think the cable company will be any help on this other than
telling you it's not their service that is at fault.
Think of doing something for someone you need absolutely nothing from.
