Hi so recently after coming back from vacation I noticed that when ever I turned on my computer after 2-3 minutes all devices in my house except for my computer lost all wifi signal and cannot be reconnected until the computer is turned off. Please help my parents think I was watching porn and got a virus in the router :p.

Unlikely to be a router "virus".

Did you take your computer with you on vacation and connect to other wireless networks while away?

Who has administrative rights to the router and manages the configuration? Router make & model?

I would suspect an IP conflict.

Do you know how to run "ipconfig /all" from the command prompt? Find out what IP addresses are being used internal to your home network.
