Getting frustrating at the 2002 and losing queue position

On a direct ethernet fiber DSL connection, extremely stable

It's not your connection and I don't know where you are getting information that it's a wifi issue with the 2002 errors. You can read the information here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...9cad782363f25b

FFXIV’s Error 2002 message pops up if the game’s login server is dealing with high amounts of players or if the player amount in a single login queue for a specific data sails past 17,000 players, though Yoshida has confirmed that the team is deploying an update to increase that number to 21,000.

No, Yoshi P stated that switching to a wired connection instead of a wifi connection can possibly mitigate the issue. However the fundamental problem is the massive number of players. The fix to increase the login server limit from 17000 to 21000 has already been implemented.

"The reason for this is that, as a result of longer queues and more time spent in the queue, there is an increased likelihood of issues occurring in relation to the player’s internet connection. In most cases, this is considered to be caused by packet loss on the internet route or instability from the Wi-Fi connection in the player's internet environment."

Also, in the announcement you linked:

"The other occurs when your internet connection experiences packet loss or a period of network instability, causing the server connection to be momentarily disconnected. At the moment, we are seeing more cases caused by this."

The 2002 during queue is caused by connection issues which can stem from the large number of players trying to log in as traffic has a huge effect on connection.

As someone else already posted just after your post, the exact post you linked notes wifi as a factor, if you look at the original post on the 2002 error that SE did it was also list as an excuse. While its possible wifi could play a part for someone who has poor wifi, the majority of people posting are direct connected, which supports this isn't really a problem with people's wifi, this is on SE's side in fully in their court to fix. It feels like they are trying to pass some of the blame onto the customer and it does not come across well.
