Sounds like your Router doesn't have very good QoS. Most MMOs don't use much bandwidth and Istaria is probably even less as much of the files are client side.

What speed package from the ISP do you have? (ie 1500kb/s Download & 386kb/s Upload)
If you connect too many computers to a Internet source it may fail, especially if your upload bandwidth is low.

After some testing...

Netstats
TCP 1850
az.us.istaria.com/ftp

Maximum bandwidth usage (during port to area not in world cache)
0.03% of 300mbps [my WLAN Link speed, but it still working to compare](according to the Windows Task manager) or about 92kbps (if my math is right). Of course this is just an estimation.
Average bandwidth usuage: 46.08kbps

it take to turn on a lightbulb?

That's all I could think of as I saw the title...

During normal gameplay (not patching) the client uses a stream of udp packets to a high numbered port on the server (47702 here, that might change slightly each time). Expect to see about 5-20 packets per second at no more than 576 bytes per packet.

There are no TCP connections involved once patching is completed, so there aren't any "connections".

If your wireless is on a busy channel, say, for example, your network is on channel 6, and so are a dozen of your neighbors' networks, you might have trouble with performance. Check your signal strength and network survey. If there's a lot of networks on the same channel, set your access point to a different channel (theres about 12 to choose from). If your signal strength is low, play with the antennas and location of the access point as well as your computer to try and get a better signal.
