Laptop keeps making wireless connection unavailable

Hi,

I have a desktop and 2 laptops, all connected wirelessly to the router.

this morning I noticed that whenever the wireless on one laopt is on, it makes both the desktop and the other laptop drop their connections and not see the wireless router.

can anyone help me with this?
as soon as I turn the wireless off from the laptop, the other two can then connect without problem.

does this sound like virus activity?

Try a firmware update on the router and updating the laptop wireless drivers. Do the laptops have Intel wireless adapters?

Sounds like interference are all the laptops set to the same channel ?
