Are all your computers on the same subnet? How is your Fortigate configured?

Sorry, 

yes 

All computers are in the same subnet 192.168.1.0 / 24
Fortinet:
  LAN address Fortinet: 192.168.1.1 (Gateway)
WAN address Fortinet: 192.168.90.253
 LAN address router: 192.168.90.254

okay. Are all your PCs connected to fortigate directly and das the fortigate have switch configured?

 

Basically: traffic inside one subnet (which traffic between your PCs is) does not hit the default gw as every client does have a route for the subnet with having one interface that carries the subnet. So this can neither be an issue with policies nor routing on your fortigate. 

That to me looks more like if your ports are somehow isolated and cannot "see" each other.

If the devices on the lan are assigned IP/network info from a dhcp server (be it from the fgt or some server) check that the IP/subnet/default gateway IP are correct.  Clients on the 192.168.1.x subnet should be assigned 192.168.1.1 as the gateway and the subnet mask should be /24 (255.255.255.0).   Clients should be able to ping each other devices in the same subnet, assuming they are connected via a switch or the lan ports on the fgt.

 

Follow standard troubleshooting processes - ping/trace route between network nodes and to/from the fgt, etc.

Sometimes other devices interfere with your wireless network. If you connect with ethernet (the yellow cord) and the problem goes away, you probably have a wireless issue.
