Hello, If I connect my MAC to the router wireless it works first time every time, My Sons windows laptop is also fine. If I connect my wifes or my other sons windows 7 laptops they will not connect as long as my MAC is switched on. Also even when the MAC is turned off the only way to get these laptops connected is to re-set the router ! Anyone have any idea why?

It sounds like you may have an IP address conflict.

Check the IP addresses that are being used on each machine and in the router to insure that you are allocating dynamic addresses with enough available to cover all machines or if you are using static addresses that they are different.

And did you assign static addresses to the machines that are outside the router's DHCP address assignment range or use reserved dynamic addresses to prevent IP conflict?
