Login rejected shutting down

Hi all,

 I struggled for 2 weeks with this error. It was pretty difficult to find, but I'll spare you the long details. It was my router. I had an old Linksys BEFW11S4 v2 on my Network which gave me this error (Login rejected shutting down) every 15-20 minutes. I got a tip from this forum and in-game support to bypass the router and go direct to DSL modem. It hadn't occured to me because I play other MMO's and didn't have this problem- so that's what made it hard for me. So I bought a new NetGear Max Range wireless router (WPN824) and voila - NO MORE CRASHES!!

Check/replace old router.

Hope this insight helps the rest of the community experiencing this same issue.

Regards,

Hi Blank Frank,

I was able to replace my router for $80. If you can't replace, I suggested you make certain your routers firmware is up to date. I had a really old Linksys Wireless router and I chose to have a newer, latest greatest router.

Umm, and regarding phi's post - simple; NOT a routing issue, because my network has a single point of entry, meaning, I only have one router. The chipset in my router could not keep up with the data through put. When I replaced with the new router, problem was flatlined.

 Hope that helps.
