Why does my wifi disconnect whenever my roommate's phone or computer connects?
Every time he gets home, or starts up his pc, my phone/ps4 briefly loses internet connection via wifi.

Who setup your router? I reads like either IP conflicts or some type of DNS Proxy setting. I'm curious if the other connecting-devices are configured for static addresses and you dynamic.
As Tiffany recommends, resetting to Factory Default would clear these "preferences" but I'd also find a follow-up procedure to better secure your network after resetting (changing default credentials, MAC filtering, Guest networks, broadcasting, etc). There are lots of articles to better secure your network...maybe even Cox has one.
