Flooding Laptop MAC

Flooding Laptop MAC

when a specific laptop is turned on all other wireless devices lose their connection but when that laptop is connected to the switch with an ethernet cable the connections are all stable.
typically when the laptop is connected via wireless we (7 other laptops and iPhones, occasionally more devices) all have connections dropped every minute or more.

I have tried updating the drivers on that laptop but they are already up to date, I have tried so many things that have been suggested but nothing seems to be working other than keeping it plugged into the switch constantly which is not an option for us.

the laptop also shows 100% disk usage directly on start-up when nothing else is running. sometimes stopping superfetch and windows search will search will help but not for long and sometimes not at all

I am hoping someone has an idea of what to do here.

Please suggest me which Extreme Controller and AP for avoiding this type of problem????

Does turning off the networking support on the laptop (disable nic and wireless nic) change the cpu behavior?

I would look at a remote debug packet capture from the ap in question This will give you an idea of what the traffic is. In most cases this is either a drive or hardware issue of the client
