win8 Internet disconnect during install of network printer

[Wannes]

Whenever trying to install a printer/network printer on Windows 8 my wireless network disconnects. The icon still shows it's connected but webpages don't load anymore. All other internet services are also disconnected.

Anyone have a reason/solution for this?

Yes, on both.

have you reset it?

Try assigning the printer / laptop a static IP, maybe the printer is causing an IP conflict
