Well, the pings from the laptop to the router are fine, but those from the desktop machine to the router have many dropped packets. I tried to switch the Ethernet cable of the desktop machine to the one that is successfully used by the laptop, but there are still dropped packets there. Maybe there's a bad NIC on the desktop machine. Thanks for all your help.
