I would be more inclined to think it is a network issue, since 3 pieces of hardware that all essentially do the same thing don't work.
Try statically assigning an IP address, rather than use DHCP. Make sure you are using an IP address that isn't already taken. 255.255.255.0 for a netmask. Use your router's IP address for the gateway, and primary DNS server. Use 8.8.8.8 (or your ISP's DNS server if you know it) for the secondary DNS. Once the network adapter is configured, flush your dns (ipconfig /flushdns at command line).
If that works, then my guess is the DHCP server on your router is borked and sending out incorrect settings (or not sending out anything at all).
edit: This might be a stupid question, but is there a chance there is 2 DHCP servers running on your network? 2 routers maybe?
