        How is your PC connected to your network devices? Directly by ISP modem(modem and router) or ISP modem then extended router? Post also the exact model/brand of these devices.

          Bypass hub switch and wireless connection and direct PC to the ISP modem by ethernet port.  Same problem?
          You could be having the same problem with this link referring to MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)preset or settings.

            You're going to replace hardware to fix a software problem?  It's your money.  Since you want to throw it away, throw some over here. (LOL)

              The Manual for your ISP modem router -> http://onlinehelp.verizon.net/consumer/bin/pdf/VzMI424WRUserManualv4.pdf
              It stated that this modem/router should work on if not most other ISP. Did you happen to have change Internet provider and use the Actiontec router? The MTU settings for this router is on page 66. The MTU default set is at maximum of 1500 for the router. If it happen that you have change provider or not and cannot access certain websites with the same settings, you could change it to automatic dhcp or manually change but not above the maximum(page 67).
              Other information here ->I can't access some websites
