I have a small home network where computers are connected to a wifi modem using either LAN or wifi, but recently it has developed strange problem. When a PC is connected through LAN to this modem, no one can connect to it using wifi. Once I disconnect the LAN cable, wifi connections get established immediately.
What might be causing this problem, and how do I fix it?

1Are you sure that PC isn't using the SAME ip-address as the Wifi/router ? If that is the case the PC normally shouldn't be able to get on the internet itself when it is connected by LAN, but that isn't a 100% certain. I have seen (consumer-grade) routers that would do NAT even if the PC was using the routers LAN-side ip-address. – Tonny – 2013-11-29T10:22:33.540
Thanks Tony. It is connected to another wifi router at the neighbours. I will check with them. – user33949 – 2013-11-29T12:35:24.287
it was a cable issue – user33949 – 2013-12-11T08:19:32.897
