When this occurs do you lose your wifi connection or does the other PC just become slow and unable to browse the web?

What speed is your internet connection?

What may be the case is the game is completely tying up your wireless connection preventing the other from send or receiving any data. Do you have another device to try like a phone or tablet? Wifi is a serial type of connection but usually what happens is that if a slow device gets on the net it causes everything to slow to its speed. Not prevent it from communicating at all.

Lastly you mention when you go to full screen this happens. Does it still happen when you go to a smaller game window?

You are going to have to do some trial and error here to sort this out.
