hey guys, I need networking experts to help me out on this one.

Network Config:

(Internet) <-> Modem <-> Airport Express (Bridge Mode) <Wifi> Mac 1 , Mac 2

Internet only works on one of these Macs at a time. If both are connected to the Wifi network at the same time, one of them doesn't work. By not working I mean, pinging say www.apple.com resolves DNS but packet loss is at 100%. Sometimes a couple of packets would come back but mostly internet isn't reachable.

Both devices do receive different IPs via DHCP from the modem.

The network has other typical Apple devices on it like iPhones and iPads. They all work fine until Mac 2 comes on the same network. Then internet on these devices also stops working.
