While playing, STO disconnects my wireless connection

This doesn't happen any other time, or with any other mmo, i have to alt+tab out of the game and manually reconnect to my home network. Its a bit frustrating during longer space battles. At least ground missions seem to save my progress pretty well. Anyone else got a similar issue or fix? The Cryptic techs have been a bit busy few last few days :p

    router could be overheating or dumping from tcp flooding. My computer never disconnects but when I play certain games with my dad with his wifi laptop, the router reboots itself. Annoying.

    Try plugging directly into the router with a network cable (CAT5), and see if you have disconnects then. If you do not get disconnected, the wifi function of the router may be having issues, or possibly, your wifi chip on your PC. These things can be symptomatic only in certain games, but will always get worse over time.

    If plugging directly into the router still causes you to disconnect, then the router may be faulty. After that, plug into your cable modem/dsl modem with a cable and see if you can play without getting disconnected. That will also tell you if the problem lies with the network hardware (router/modem), or maybe something up with your computer or the network service you have subscribed to.

    Before plugging cables in, make sure to power down all hardware. Sometimes you can get away with just plugging in and praying but to be safe, turn everything off, plug in, wait a few seconds, then turn it all back on.

    Best of luck.
