Not enough bandwidth on the router maybe? It is as old as my desktop... (R.I.P.)

Yeah.. I think it's time for a new router. I don't know enough though.

bandwidth ? what the hell is that ? lol

i don't know shit

Ok so bandwidth is how much data the router can send at one time. If the game asks for more data then the router can send, the game will disconnect. 

Look into getting a new router.

iam looking at the TP link TL wr940n . just because it got 3 antenas. is it any good ? is it an old product ? recommend me for new wifi router,cheap enough to buy and stable enough to endure that many things connected to it.

Two steps up. 

 

Either one is great, the second will last you a lot longer.

I think you need to talk to your ISP and request a new router. It sounds like the router has some faulty hardware.

Ahh, then it is time to buy a new all-in-one!

Check to see if there is any firmware updates for the router. If you're still getting router restarts after upgrading the firmware then it's time for a new one.
