Do you have a Trisquel live CD/media handy? I'd suggest booting from it and testing with it. If you can get to that point I'd probably try the following.

1. Unplug the ethernet cable
2. Plug the USB G adapter in
3. Using the network applet in the lower right select the access point you would like to connect to

Does it say it is connected?

4. Open up your web browser
5. Type in https://www.affinityfcu.org/ and hit enter

Did a website come up? If so the USB G adapter works. There is probably something wrong with your Trisquel configuration.

If not I'd try typing in 192.168.1.1 and see if you can access your network router configuration page (it appears thats what it is based on the above info although it could be any of: 192.168.1.100, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.100, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.100, and possibly something else, although these are generally the standard ones for most home routers)

Now if it didn't work (the web site) then there is probably an issue with your router/network setup. It might be worth resetting the connection. Turn the modem off, turn the router off, turn the modem back on, wait 60 seconds, turn the router back on.

It could be the router is setup oddly like DHCP is setup to issue IP addresses only. And you need to set the DNS manually in Trisquel. If I understood what you did in MS Windows though it sounds like the router is setup to issue IP addresses and DNS info. However the fact you need to sometimes go in and change stuff on MS Windows suggests something else is incorrectly configured. Maybe you have two routers that are both trying to issue DHCP addresses or something similar.

If you open a terminal I wouldn't mind seeing the output of the following:

iwconfig
ifconfig -a

* after you are connected, and doing so from the live media/CD
