Have you done a malware scan on the Windows computer?

What security software do you have running on it?

Which version of Netgear router are you using?

Do you have "Back to my Mac" enabled? (I'm not even sure that is an easy option on 10.6, but worth checking)....what about such software as "LogMeIn".....any such package that would allow you access to your home network from the internet side could provide a possible vector.

There have been some reports of successful intrusion to some routers using embedded Linux....recent firmware updates have been released to close that particular vector....again, not sure about Netgear specifically.

I would discount the iPad and the printer as possible culprits.....my strongest suspicion would rest on the Windows 8.1 Dell as the most likely component.
