Had my new NP8130/P151HM1 for a couple weeks now, still having several annoying issues

SOLVED

Bought a new Lotus P151HM1 with the stock RealTek wifi card, and its been giving me issues every day. Anytime I disconnect from the internet, whether its putting it to sleep, shutting down, or manually turning off the wireless, it takes about ten minutes for it to reconnect, as it crashes my entire router and forces it to reboot, taking the wireless network down for all devices in the house. I have two macs, two iphones, an xbox 360 and a couple other devices all on this network that many other people use and its becoming quite inconvenient. I have tried reinstalling the drivers several times now, and it has done nothing. No other device has ever caused this problem in the several years I've been running a wireless network in my home so I'm doubtful that it is a problem with the router, though I may be mistaken.

Next, the computer shuts down every time I close the lid. It doesnt go to sleep, doesn't hibernate, goes into a full shutdown where I have to reboot. I'm sure there is an option to change this somewhere, however I have been unable to find it so if someone could point me to it that'd be awesome.

Those are the two main issues I've been having right now, other than that I'm loving the notebook so far, and everything has been working great. Thanks.

EDIT: Got everything working, turns out there was some conflict between my router and this notebook specifically, reinstalling all the firmware cleared everything up, thanks for the help/prompt reply, this notebook is seriously awesome

 

As for the wireless- there's no physical way for a card to force your router to reboot. It's just not something that can happen with TCP/IP and CSMA/CA when we're talking wireless standards. It's possible that there's a problem with the router. What brand/firmware revision is the router? I've seen these issues come up in other threads as noted yesterday, but it's always been on no name or uncommon routers.

You can try updating your router to the newest firmware as well and possibly resetting your encryption scheme and password on it (WPA2/WPA).

In regards to the power option, right click on the battery icon on the tray > power options > choose what closing the lid does (left bar). You can set your preferences there.

 

I have a Linksys WRT110, I'll try updating the firmware and posting back. Thanks for the tip about the power options, new to this whole windows setup. Thank you.
