    I have an Alienware 2015 with Windows 10.

    Whenever I connect to this router at a friend's house, it seems like my connection is firewalled or something; I can't connect to any multiplayer games and I can't load certain websites. It only happens here (my PC works just fine when I use any other network), and every other device works just fine with the network. It's only my computer. They use AT&T as their ISP, if that's any help.

    I've tried turning off the router firewall, restarting the computer, turning off the firewall on my PC, played around with a bunch of settings on the router settings page; no luck. This has become VERY frustrating and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.

    try installing the latest killer network suite driver.. but 1st download the new driver and then uninstall the old ones.. after installing the new driver on startup disable killer network manager and that should solve your problem.. hehe..
