Actually that was the first thing I did. My router is pretty new but my cable modem was old and Comcastic so I replaced that about two weeks after I started having problems. Didn't help.

For the record, this isn't an issue I have with absolutely any other Internet activity including playing other MMOs. Only FFXIV has this problem. Given that, I tend to discount the possibility that it's any of my equipment at fault here.
