When playing any persistent online game (SWTOR, Marvel Heroes, etc...), I will get frequent crashes to desktop (as in every 5-60 minutes, usually 15-30). At first I thought it was my wireless USB option (wired connection not an option) but I recently switched to an internal wireless card and the issue persists.
I have no issues with games like the Witcher 2 and CPU stress tests and running GPU-z while testing online games show that its likely not an overheating issue (aka SWTOR crashes and my 7850 is at 70C). Someone brought to my attention that I hadn't really played many online games since I had replaced my old Linksys with a new Dlink wireless router. I've had no issues with general internet usage but it was suggested that something (bad settings, old firmware) might be causing this issue.
Could the wireless actually cause a problem like this and what settings might actually be doing it? Networking is my Achilles' heel so I always just wizard/auto my setup and leave it at that. Thanks for any input.
