would be interesting if you could swap out routers with your fathers and see.

I'll try, it'll take a while though

in case your dad has special settings on his router, you can do a save configuration on the router for easy backup and restore. Same for yours too. You can load his settings from this file on your router then go online with it at his house and see how it works. Keep us posted.

Yes I know I've actually swapped them before about 8 months ago, the one I have now is his.  They both have had factory resets since then as he moved and everything just needed to get reset and I set his up so getting all that figured out shouldn't be a problem, it's just I'm not gonna be there for quite a while.

Okay, I finally fixed the problem!
After trying to plug in the old WBR to use as a temporary router, the same thing happened with that, even though I'm almost sure it worked before.  Then I noticed 15% CPU activity, a little odd for complete idle, so I opened up task manager and sure enough there was some program with a name that seemed a bunch of random letters that was taking up about 10% of CPU.  Closed that, and voila! Internet worked.  So looks like I have a virus, and the virus program I used before apparently sucks! Got a new one now and running a scan, already found some things.  Gotta be more careful!

Good that you found the problem man...usually things like that don't effect internet, however sometimes they do. I also recommend running MalwareBytes to double check. Hope you can get it cleaned up and it works well for you after that.
