very strange

main PC connected with ethernet cable

as soon as it connects to the router, no other devices will connect to the router on wifi (phone, laptop, other pc)

as soon as i disconnect main pc by disablling network card. all ohter devices connect straight away

no IP conflicts
tried 2 different routers, both the same

cant think what to try next :(
 
Yeah, never seen this happening before - this is like the second post in as many days with people solving problems without giving details that just don't seem to make any sense.

Can't even imagine what process running on a single computer would effect the ability of other devices to even connect to the AP.

I can see how once connected they might have degraded performance, to the point whether their connections appear to not be working, but flat out unable to connect... nup, no idea.
