Every time since recently reinstalling Dayz, and since upgrading my pc, each time I join an official server I get warning (0x00040004)

Steps To Reproduce
I've looked for steps everywhere, and all guides seem to point towards the same point, "reinstall", "verify this games files are installed correctly" and so on.
Additional Information
I enter the server, manage to play if lucky five minuets, soon as I see red chain link pop up I know I have only moments before I'm booted to the main game menu with "warning (0x00040004) you were kicked off the game, connection with the host has been lost".
I have reinstalled, verified files numerous times, to the point I've lost count, never had this issue ever before in all my years in playing Dayz.
see attached video, get this issue each time since upgrading and reinstalling Dayz. Only other change that happened other than just standard hardware upgrades, has been an upgraded internet provider(got better internet pretty much). And the fact that I have switched to a dual band USB adapter from a TP-Link WPA4220 WiFi adapter kit.

Do you have the option to (temporarily) use an ethernet cable? (At least for testing purposes). My guess would be that there's an issue with the Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi isn't the best choice when playing multiplayer games like DayZ and you should use an ethernet cable if you can.
You can also try to open a command prompt and simultaneously ping the server while you are playing on it. That way you can at least see if you can still reach the server when you get connection problems in game.

this was an idea I did originally had, but the tp link I was using prior to my PC upgrades, the one connected to the main router itself seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth when the new internet router was installed. and has still yet to surface.
how do I action the command prompt? not something I've really heard of before.

So you don't have the chance to temporarily connect to the router via a long Ethernet cable? If you do, try it and my guess is it will fix it, since happened something similar to me in the past.
