Help WiFi interferes with laptop

[BuckyOhair]

Just got my MT a couple of days ago, and whenever I turn on it's WIFI and connect to my home network, it bumps the wife's laptop off.

I checked their respective IP's and they are different.

Any ideas, the wife gets a little upset when I bump her off the internet.

it has to do with frequencies... im not sure there is anything that can stop it

what wireless card is in your wife's laptop? intel 2200bg with extremely old drivers?

The same thing happens to my Toshiba A505-6005 laptop, with the Realtek RTL8191SE wireless n adapter. I have updated the nic driver, and set up static ip's for both devices trying to fix it, but nothing has yet.

Actually I have a newer HP laptop and it's been bumped off by my Triumph on every WiFi network I put both on since day 1. I asked months ago and no one seemed to have the same issue. Wonder what it is...Still no fix here

My wife's laptop is a new(ish) (under a year) COMPAQ it gets bumped as soon as I start WiFi on my MT. My laptop is a HP and it is fine, it is on the N-band 5 GHz freq though, the wife's is on the 2.4 GHz.
