Have you first of all just tried a factory reset of the router?
YES

COMPUTER IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THE ROUTER USING A LAN WIRE. I CAN SEE THE CORRESPONDING LED GLOWING. PERHAPS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SET STATIC IP PART. I TRIED THIS..https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h7yiaa3ze4h1cf/StaticIP.jpg

NO
YES
