Doesn't sound like the router's not capable of dealing with the simultaneous connections, which is odd to say the least.

Are you both connected wirelessly? If so, is there any improvement if you're connected directly via cable?

If it is wireless see if you can find out what other networks are operating on the same channel as your Dad's (netstumbler is good for this) - it could just be that the wireless channel is congested and that's causing the problems. Although I'd expect to see that manifest itself with only one connected as well as with two.
