DHCP is good/correct , it is the LAN setting only in this case , ie: so you and your roommate get IP addresses given out dynamically when you want to connect . the Starting address should not be the Gateway address ....add 50 to the last number eg 192.168.1.50 and make the ending one .70 , so it has 20 addresses to give out.... assuming 10 devices in the house... so some free for new devices/friends if there is no Guest Network.
Hmmm , and you say your room mate has no issues ? you have looked at there settings , asked to do an ipconfig /all ?
I can ping your ISP's Gateway Address seen above , try putting this Address (96.36.136.1) in the LAN Settings Under DHCP instead of the Gateway address (192.168.1.1) for the DNS numbers , this is how I have it set on my router , with my ISP's Gateway Address as DNS.
