    WoW is causing my computer to lose connection

    I hope this is best place to post this.
    When I'm playing the game my entire compter will lose all internet connection, vent DCs, WoW DCs, everything internet related stops working, but my computer quickly gets the connection back, the whole loss lasts about 10-15secs. Sometimes I can go 12+ hours without it happening, other times I can't even finish a quest before I've been disconnected 3-4 times.
    This ONLY happens when I'm playing WoW, no other game, no other program, nothing else have ever caused this issue ever.

    I use wireless internet, and No, I cannot connect directly to the router, it isn't feasible.

    I have no idea if its my router, computer, or the game.

    Also, my ingame latency will hover around my normal 50-60, but will at times get a couples seconds lag spike, no change in latency. Its especially prevalent when talking to NPCs, it will almost always take a good 2 secs for anything to happen when I talk to any NPC.

    Not sure if this is related to the issue or just regular old server lag.
    Anyway, thought this might help.

    couple things to try...
    disable all addons and test
    if it continues, backup your wtf, cache and interface folders and then delete the original ones
    test it without running vent
    update network drivers
    disable windows firewall and antivirus software
