Joining servers make my internet connection go down

[NightmareP69 1]

Iv'e tryed to play other games and didn't have any issues at all, only when i try to play ArmA 2 and Day z my whole internet connection goes compleatly down.

I join a server, i get to the lobby screen and after that it eather gets stuck in a loading screen or i get message then i lost connection to the server. Is anyone else having this issue ? I don't belive it was caused by the new ArmA 2 : OA steam update becuse i was able to play Day z today for about an hour without any issues and then all the sudden this started to happen.

Only Day z and ArmA 2 make my connection go down, other online multiplayer games work fine online (Team fortress 2,space marine,left 4 dead,etc)

Someone posted about this in BI Forums but there's really no helping answer.

This is happening to me as well. So damn annoying! Sometimes it goes down when I join, sometimes in the middle of the game. Never happens when playing other online games.

I've tried just about everything to get this working... I can't even connect to my primary server at the moment. And I can't find a legit server inside of the ingame server browser. (Main hive)

edit: trying this.

This is probably your router. I've written more detailed about it here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31307-internet-crashing-on-connect-or-shortly-after/#entry961901.

Yeah it does sound like a router issue tbh. Then again buying a new router and having the same thing happen would be so frustrating so i would try and make sure it definitely is that rather than just getting a new router.
