I would sometimes lose my entire Wi-Fi connection while playing ESO, even though my iPad still had a Wi-Fi connection to our network. It turned out there's a "Let the computer disable this device to save power" setting for each of the network adapters in the Device Manager, and that setting was checked rather than unchecked. I would never have checked it myself, so I have to assume that either it was always checked by default or it got changed by a recent Windows update. I know that ESO tends to use a lot of CPU and GPU, so maybe the power consumption was hitting some threshold that led the computer to disable the Wi-Fi adapter? I dunno. It might be worth looking in your Device Manager to see how that option is set.

oh! wow! really? I've been in a huge fight all week with my ISP assuming that they were doing something. But the problem I have is exactly like you described, and I only lose my wifi connection playing ESO. Recently I also noticed that my phone and tablet remain connected, but I lose the connection on PC. Is it possible to be cause by ESO?

If the computer has "permission" (by virtue of that setting) to turn off your Wi-Fi adapter to save power, and if ESO (or any other process using the Wi-Fi connection) is causing the computer to use more power, then yes, I think the computer might conceivably decide to turn off or disable the Wi-Fi adapter to save power-- but I'm no expert, so if someone with more/better technical knowledge/understanding than me says I'm wrong about that, then I won't argue with them.

I haven't experienced any more Wi-Fi disconnects while playing ESO, but it's only been a couple of days since I changed that setting and I haven't played ESO a huge amount during the last few days. I did notice that my Wi-Fi connection was briefly lost early yesterday while I was playing TES:Arena, but it reconnected itself right after I noticed that the Wi-Fi icon had changed to the little "no connection, connections are available" globe. I think our modem and router sometimes reset themselves as part of their "regular self-maintenance."

The problem I was having wasn't just that I sometimes lost my Wi-Fi connection while playing ESO, but that the computer was unable to automatically reestablish the Wi-Fi connection. I had to either reboot the computer or run the troubleshooter, both of which were presumably restarting the Wi-Fi adapter for me.

That setting has nothing to do with the actual power consumption triggering your OS to disable your network adapter. That is only when your computer enters the sleep state. If your computer is not automatically reconnecting to the WiFi when the connection is lost, then you should really try and just remove the stored wireless network profile, and reconnect to the WiFi again.

My original post should have pointed out that I was referring to the disconnect on PC with an error report form popup for completion and the game being closed due to an unexpected error

You say you do repairs. BUt the increasing number of players getting randome dc seems to be ignored, I had them way to much recently. Just doing easy banking and housing. Cleaning bank and inventory, and Getting dc 70%-80 % of the time on the same trial bosses, example Vrg second last boss. Guildmembers have the same issue with hardmoe last boss Hell ra. ,ANd more and more stupid disconnet keep happening to a LOT of players including me. 99% of us never used to have this problem until recent updates. the Last 2 years. Since 2020 i had a lot of dc propblems. suddenly they stopped, But they are back now-- randomly. And it is very, ery annoying. And a waste of time with all the relogging etc, and error messages that dont make any sence. Somtimes you get kicked in a middle of fight to the login screen> but you still can use skills etc for about 30 sec to a min. then you are gone. Other times freeze , and you see login screen or another picture from eso, like traveling to dungeon screen. But mostley yo get black screen ,and after a while you are on your windows screen.
This has been going on for to long now. You keep pointing to update this and update that, BUt that is to easy, Like i said before, The game has been working for years without big trouble, and then over night it starts to be *** up. I am writing tis out of frustration yes, but with good reason. It is time to dig deep , and try and find where that problem lays.
ps. lately when doing a lot of banking etc, doing a lot of moving arounfd gear etc in bank, inventory, chests etc. including crafting, decon and so on, Disconnect- black screen also happens.
