Tinder reproducibly crashes my WiFi

It sounds absolutely absurd but Tinder reproducibly crashes my WiFi Network.

Network:

- Technicolor TC7200 Router

- AP WA801N v2 (2,4GhZ, WPA2 encrypted)

Clients:

- Apple MBP 2011, OSX Yosemite

- Moto G (First Gen), Android Lolipop

Scenario:

- I give all devices (AP, Router, Phone and Laptop) a full, fresh reboot and wait 10 minutes

- MBP is pinging the Access Point, the Router any site (say Google/Facebook whatever)... all fine. No drop outs, packet loss or whatsoever.

- Moto G has active Internet Access... i can browse sites, load content in Apps... all good.

- I open Tinder, scroll thru my Matches... still all good.

But the moment i open a profile, all pings to the Internet on my MBP fail and the Phone also can't make any connections whatsoever (browsing, loading in-app content... it all fails).

Im sure by now you think i've gone crazy but i can reproduce this behaviour at any time.

How is this possible?
