Not exactly sure why it "clobbered" your wireless network, but you're  
using scp wrong.  You don't need to ssh into a machine, then scp from  
there back to the machine you're connected from.  You just use scp  
from the client machine:

scp <user>@<host>:/path/to/file <local_destination>

Obviously replace all that with appropriate information, but there's  
no need to ssh to a machine, then scp back.  Just scp from the  
client. :)  It might work better that way.

If you're more familiar with ftp, you could always use sftp too...  it  
works like ftp (command-wise), but does all its magic over an ssh  
connection.  Again, no need to ssh into the host machine first.
