2 wireless issues

This is driving me mad. Here's the setup: AT&T DSL with a Linksys WRT110 router. Guy forgot his router login password, so I reset it and set the router back up. He has 2 wireless pc's connecting to it, an HP laptop with Windows 7 and an HP touch screen AIO in with Windows 7 on it. If I set the router to WEP, the laptop connects, but the touch screen will not. I tried everything and it just gives me an error with no reasoning. I only tried WEP because when I try WPA or WPA2 personal. The internet works fine until 1 of the 2 PC's is turned on. As soon as Windows boots up the internet goes completely down. The 1st few times it happened I thought it was a coincident.

But I've duplicated it about 10 times. I'll run a ping -500 on Google and watch it ping Google 450 times without a dropped packet. I open the laptop and the second it comes out of standby mode *BOOM* internet's completely down. Doesn't even work on the hardwired PC. I have reset the router 4 times, and every time it's doing the same thing. Once I shut down the wireless PC that's connected, after maybe 4 minutes it cycles back and it won't drop another packet. Connect again, same thing. I did leave it connected for about 15 minutes thinking it would work itself out. But it didn't help.

Never seen this before, neither PC has a virus, one Windows 7 was just installed last week. Any ideas what could be causing this? Before resetting the router his internet/network worked fine with both wireless pc's connected. I'm out of ideas here/
 
Try using the wireless MAC filter
Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network.
 
In general WPA works better than WEP, and WPA2 even better (and I am not referring just to security).

Apparently some thing is wrong with the configuration of the Wireless computer that bring down the Router.

Check thoroughly its Network setting (if possible try it on an other network too).
