Anyone have this happen before? Like clockwork, starting up my laptop just kills my modem for several minutes and every device in the house cannot get internet. I have not the faintest idea how that's even possible and I've never heard of anything like this.

Set a static ip for your laptop so that it won't be trying to connect to ip's that are already in use when it is looking for an unused ip.

possibly an IP conflict. maybe either it has the same address as the modem, or it could also have malware on it that is responding to certain IP requests. (there are packets that basically say "who has address <whatever>". a malicious program/device can respond to all of these, claiming to be everything, in hopes of intercepting important information. this can result in disrupted communication on the network.)

those are just guesses though.
