Hey there, I live in a house where everyone is using Wired/Wireless Windows comps, and my sister is using a Macbook wirelessly. The router is Linksys E1000. Whenever she opens her mac or turns it on, without a ethernet plugged in, it disconnects everyone from the router for about a minute and a half. When she is plugged in there is no problems, the only problem is she doesn't want to plug in lol. I was hoping someone might know about the 2 products as i know nothing about trouble shooting a mac. I've already tried to force IP's thinking that the problem was with that but it wasnt. Thanks for any info and help you can provide.

Maybe the WLAN settings uses a fixed IP, which is used by someone else, and hence, wreaks havoc in the network.
Both, WLAN and Ethernet, should use DHCP turned on, and not a fixed IP.

This is not specific to the computer, but perhaps specific to the version of OS X it's running. Or something else.
When was the last time the router was turned off and restarted?

Yes, use DHCP or make sure that everybody's IP addresses are unique.
