Internet Speed (which is attached by ethernet cable to my combo modem router? Basically other than my Anti--Virus Updates, the second computer as far as I know doesn't receive anything else when its left by itself with wi-fi turned on it.
 
It will only affect other computers on the network when that computer is downloading something.. such as windows updates. I wouldn't worry about it to be honest.
 
Many routers can use multiple LANs/WANs wiith different channels and either 5 or 2.4 GHz. Changing those will make the signal stronger.

Mine has dual band 2.4 and 5GHz. I use the 2.4GHz band for my phone and laptop and I keep the 5 just for my Netflix streamer.

Does not compute. Band doesn't influence EIRP (outside of legal limitations between unii frequencies). Also, changing the ap channel would just have both clients rejoining the same ssid on that channel again. ;)
 
I have dual lans with two different wifi cards on different channels and frequencies using MU-MIMO.
