Please Note

That the computer has undergone reformatting, with only world of warcraft installed, no add ons installed. The connection is shared with 1 other person whom does not suffer disconnections from the game at any time. There are no forms of disconnections on other programs during the times in which I disconnect from WoW. In addition I am not being disconnected from any other online games. Ports have been checked and fowarded. And finally during gameplay I am not running into walls or objects potentially triggering a known DC issue.

In terms of the disconnections themselves, they can vary in severity. At times I can play the game for approximately an hour before disconnecting, and at others (not impacted by peak times), only remain online for seconds or a few minutes until suffering a disconnection. After being disconnected once in any given day, further log ins lead to an increase in frequency of these disconnections, usually soon after the subsequent log ins. (Ie Approximately 10-15 seconds in game before disconnection).

World of Warcraft has been installed using the online downloadable client, and I have used the repair tool as a precaution yet nothing was flagged.

Can you please access the configuration page for this device, and disable uPnP?

If disabling uPnP does not help, I'd recommend you either show this pathping to BT or else await a blue post. I don't want to read too much into it, but the hops I quoted don't look good. At all.

Hi there,

There are some specific issues with BT Routers and Voyager Modems Causing disconnects.

To resolve this please follow the steps below.
1. Go to http://whatismyipaddress.com
2. Note down your IP-address
3. Unplug the landline cable from your BT Router for a couple minutes
4. Connect it again and verify you can access the Internet
5. Access the http://whatismyipaddress.com again and verify that IP-address has changed
6. Try and access World of Warcraft if you have a new IP-address

Hi,

So, I have undergone this process 2 nights ago, after doing it playing the game appeared smooth, I was able to play for approximately 3 hours without an issue until I logged off. (I did verify the IP had changed).

However the following morning the disconnections began again and the IP had changed again. I had repeated the process simply to check but the disconnections continued consistently and have done for the past 2 days.

Anything else that can be done or reasons for this?

Whilst potentially irrelevant to the disconnections I noticed today that my cooldowns don't appear to be in time with the game server, ie. stating they are ready 5-10 seconds before they are on 2-3 minute duration cds.

Thanks.
