by the way why is your desktop also wireless? usually it's hardwired to ethernet and the laptop is the one connected wirelessly. why don't u try to connect your desktop to ethernet directly instead of connecting it wirelessly that may solve the problem.

That won't really solve the problem. The router should easily handle multiple devices. If they do what you suggest and it works, the problem will still be there waiting for the next time they want another device to connect wirelessly. It's better to fix the router settings now and not need to worry later.
