So i'm not sure where to post this but im pretty sure this has something to do with either my wireless adapter/computer or my modem/router/isp, so im posting here.
Story:
So past 2 weeks, ive noticed that while playing Rocket League my internet would randomly drop while playing online. My network connection would have the
Yellow Triangle with an ! in it=meaning limited/no connection. Now i thought it was just something that randomly happened. Reseting my computer/or wireless adapter usually fixes the problem. Now for the past week I was trying to play a game called Arma2 again. Now for some reason, when i try to go online with Arma 2 and join a server, it'll join the server...and pretty much when im in the lobby and trying to enter the actually game, my internet drops. Now the thing is, im using wireless. No ethernet cable is in my pc, but when this happens, it gives me the WIRED yellow Triangle ! instead of the Wireless one. So instead of having the "!" on Wireless Signal Bars, it is on the wired network image. This is just something i noticed, not sure if it means much.
The other thing that stands out to me, is that I have the option for a guest network on my router. Now if i try to use my guest to connect to arma 2, it wont even let me connect to any server. "connection failed" everytime. But my main network works fine in that regard. Also, when the internet drops, i can sometimes just connect to my other network(guest) and get internet again...So im not really sure what it could be...
Steam maybe?(someone hacked my steam a month ago and ****** up all my settings/games on there, So i havent really played my games since this problem arose 2weeks ago.)
Im running Win7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Optimum Online(from cablevision)
Modem and Router supplied from Cablevision
I dont expect anyone to know what this problem is right away with so little info. Im studying to be a CTNS and this is something i tried to troubleshoot for 2 weeks(i dont know THAT much at all) but normally i figure out this kind of stuff within a few days maximum. This one i'm having trouble figuring out.
