Alright, in the next day or two I'll try reinstalling my OS. Fingers crossed that works. If necessary I'll try using an Ethernet cable, but I'd probably put that as one of the last things I do, as I don't really want to have 20 odd metres of cabling running across the house. Do you think it's worth setting the router back to the default settings and working from there? Although I don't see how this is completely router related - as it worked before perfectly fine - perhaps something caused it to stuff up so I guess doing every option possible eliminates possible problem sources. Just wondering, would the fact I'm using the default Windows firewall contribute? I could use another one, but I find that this firewall and antivirus is suitable for what I'm doing so I see no need for another. I'll also run a proper malware scan just in case. By the way, how do I do a stress test load?

It could be. I've tried a diagnostic test, and when it happens it says that the Windows wireless service is not running, and asks me to start it with admin privileges.

Hey Everyone, I've been having a rather irritating issue rather lately. When quitting DayZ, my wireless connection seems to drop out completely. The wireless card in my computer stops detecting any wireless networks for a few minutes - or until I disable the wireless card and re-enable it. It only happens when I quit the game - no other time. The thing is, it has only happened in the last week or two - I've been playing for well over two months. The router/modem still connects to other laptops and computers in the house, even when my connection drops. I am using a TP-link wireless card in the computer, and a Netgear router/modem. I also run Windows 8. I have un-installed and reinstalled the drivers with the wireless card, as well as updated to the latest driver. So, now I'm stuck. Any ideas? Onover
