Can my new iPad interrupt our computer connection

Just bought an iPad, but now I am getting the blame when husband is playing on World of Tanks on the computer and it keeps crashing and going back to showing desktop. Can the iPad be to blame for this. Thanks

Unlikely. Even if your router was configured to only allow one connection (and the ipad was grabbing hence denying the other computer) it would still not be the cause of the game crashing.

Apple devices can be very noisy on a network and I've had customer issues in the recent past (IOS6 I believe) has caused some serious network latency broadcasting for ITunes or whatever it does.

Could easily knock of World of Tanks internet connection as I seem to recall it is sensitive to latency but as for crashing it....

Although I've been in the customer IT support field long enough to know anything is possible when it comes to apple devices!

I personally doubt that the iPad is to blame but surely the answer is obvious..

Stop using (power down) the iPad for a couple of hours. Any crashes?
Start using iPad again. PC crashing again?

Thanks for all the advice, I know switching off the ipad would give us some indication but getting quite attached to my new ipad. It seems, by looking at the World of Tanks forums others are experiencing the same problems so I think it is more to do with World of Tanks than my Ipad.
