Random Disconnects

I've been having random disconnects to the point that the game is currently not playable. I've suffered deaths at least 10 times in the last few days. Thank God I'm not playing HC.

Basically what happens is that while plying (it doesn't matter which map, but it hasn't happened in town yet) my character is able to move about and cast some spells, but they have no effect. There is no warning beforehand. There is no ping spike. The ice spears fly around, but don't affect the monsters. The avatar makes the movement to cast the town portal, but it doesn't appear. The timer on the power charges on the top left doesn't move. The ping shows a flat line at whatever ping I had before (typically around 50ms). Then either it disconnects me after a few minutes or I have to exit the game. The character has invariably died by that point.

I am running a Core i7 4790k (not overclocked), 32 GB of RAM, Windows 8.1, nvidia GTX660Ti, nvidia GTX560Ti (not in SLI). I have a 3 monitor setup, whereby I am playing on the 1080p monitor being driven by the GTX560Ti b/c the POE always crashes when I try to run on the 4k monitor being driven by the GTX660Ti. I actually rebuilt the system trying to fix that problem, but it's an issue for another thread (sigh). I am running the latest drivers. I am on a wireless connection (ASUS AC56 Adapter to an ASUS AC Router). I have 5 bars of signal. All other games (Borderlands 2, Diablo 3, etc.) run fine.

Below is the log from WinMTR (it was running during the crash):

Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and nearly has me to the point of abandoning the game.

I've also been experiencing frequent disconnects tonight (August 29, 2014: 8:00pm - 8:46pm MDT)

Are the servers being hit again?

Hi Yearan,

Thanks a lot for your reply. The WinMTR was running to the instance server during the "crash" in the one that I posted. I will have it running in the background for the next time.

My Antivirus and software firewall are both disabled while playing (Bitdefender). The modem's firewall is on and can't be turned off. The router's firewall is turned off. My friend plays on another PC on our network and doesn't have the same type of issue (just the standard desyncing).
