I have 4 computers that connect wirelessly to a router. When one particular computer accesses the router, the signal only works for about 5 minutes, then all 4 connections shut off for a while. What could be causing this?

open one of the routers 'settings' and change the channel the router is running off of. Some routers will let you change the MegaHertz... Good luck.

Not all routers are built for so many connections. If too much information is drawn from a router, it will shut off automatically.
This can happen even with two computers.
If you try to disconnect the other computers then connect the "problem computer" see if it stays connected.
If it is this one particular computer, there is a number of steps to take to determine that problem.

You may have a network trojan thats killing off the traffics.
