Wi-Fi on my PC disconnects when I plug in my iPod Touch 5g

I have a new iPod Touch 5g 64gb. My PC is running Windows 7 and is connected via Wi-Fi using a Cisco Linksys AE1000. When I connect the iPod to my PC, I lose my internet connection. The adapter refuses to connect to the router. I've reinstalled the driver on both the iPod and the Wi-Fi adapter. I've even reinstalled Windows. But still, my adapter disconnects when I connect my iPod.

I also have an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPad 3gen, and they all connect with no issues. It's only the new iPod with the lightning connecter. Could it be the lightning connector causing this?

Please help!

Thanks,

Shawn
