I'd guess the motor is generating an electric and/or magnetic field that interferes with the wifi frequency, causing your computer's receptor to jam.

Whoa, weird.

Sometimes electronics have a weird way of interacting with each other. My guitar amp used to be able to pick up radio waves from a japanese frequency.
