Does a USB > connection make a difference and if so why? If your router is connected by USB then 'its part of the PC' . If its connected by network cable then its part of the network and no the PC - the PC doesn't (shouldn't) need to recognise it - just the PC network card. Do you manage the router via a web page? If so check configurations -DHCP etc - are there two pc's with the same IP on the network? Even check the logs on the router to see if the line is staying up.
