Windows – Connected to wireless network, but can’t access any web pages

I'm having problems with my wireless connection; I'm able to connect to the router fine (and I get full signal strength), but whenever I try to connect to a web page (or the router configuration page) it times out. It is the same in all browsers (Chrome, Firefox and IE) and results are the same even entering in the IP address manually.

I am using a Surf USB Wireless Micro Adapter which I tried in my Windows 8 laptop (from the same location as my PC) where it worked fine. Furthermore, I can access the internet fine on my PC using an ethernet connection.

The output of ipconfig /all for the wireless connection is:

As mentioned before using an ethernet connection on the same computer works fine, the output of ipconfig /all for that is as follows:

I've used tracert to check the connection between my PC and Google's DNS (8.8.4.4) and got the following:

So far I've tried

• Resetting the TCP/IP stack
• Reinstalling drivers
• Using different USB ports
• Disabling the firewall

All to no avail. I'm all out of ideas, so any help is very much appreciated.

My thoughts on the issue is that I'm connected to the internet okay, but for some reason the connection is really slow (causing the timeouts). This shouldn't be the case, as I've mentioned other devices connect to the internet fine, and my dongle works fine in my laptop. I have noticed that I am occasionally able to send and receive Facebook messages (using chat) on my PC using WiFi, but actually loading a web page takes too long and times out.
