Macbook Pro Wi-Fi issues

So I'm fixing a Macbook Pro for my girlfriend and i've just reinstalled Yosemite onto the Macbook Pro 2010 model. Everything works fine on the laptop except the wifi....

When I seem to turn the laptop on despite the wifi being ON/OFF every wireless and wired device connected to my router just loses connection and I'm not even able to access the routers settings through 192.168.1.***! As soon as the laptop turns on the internet cuts out and as soon as it turns off it will work fine after 1 minute or so!
It doesn't seem to interfere with the hotspot on my phone just the Belkin N Wireless Router (F5D8636-4 v1)

 

What is causing this weird phenomenon? And how can I get the laptop to working order before it seems to explode everything, thanks!

Lucas1727 mate, you shouldn't post your IP (for security reasons). I recommend that you edit your OP and remove it ASAP.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

Is the IP i put not just for the Local Are Network and not my actual public internet IP?

It appears that's the default IP for various routers, not necessarily just yours.

You may want to try removing the saved Wi-Fi network from System Preferences. In all honesty, it's probably Yosemite, as it's known for being plagued with Wi-Fi issues.

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X, RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) XPG GAMMIX D30 DDR4 3600MHz, MOBO: ASRock X570M, GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2070 SUPER (Corsair H100x cooling), SSD 1: Corsair Force MP510 240GB, SSD 2: Patriot VPN100 1TB, OS: Windows 10 Professional x64, CASE: Open air test bench
