I'm beginning to wonder whether there's something wrong with that DI-624!
What IP address does the wired desktop receive when it's connected to the D-Link? If it begins with 169.254, then the D-Link is NOT assigning the IP address. It's being automatically assigned by wired desktop's the operating system!
You might try resetting the DI-624 by pressing the Reset button on the back of the router. See if that revives the router, so the desktop system receives an IP address from it. If it doesn't, you may have a defective DI-624.
(edit) Here are the reset instructions from the DI-624 manual:
To hard-reset the DI-624 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following:
Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-624
Use a paper clip to press the Reset button
Hold for about 10 seconds and then release
After the DI-624 reboots (this may take a few minutes) it
will be reset to the factory Default settings
