I tried the suggestions mentioned by the op and it did seem to help but i still lose connection every so often. It's kind of sad that you have to do all this just to play. It would be nice if SE would release a patch or something to fix this instead of just ignoring it or saying wait for 2.0. If this is still going on by the time this game becomes pay to play then it looks like I'll be quitting.

There are a lot of people still having the constant disconnects. The problem is not us, the problem is something with the SE servers. I'm really starting to lose patience with this game and I'm sure many others are too.
