WIFI and Internet switch off after game start

[PaulsonV]

It started to happen after the last anti-cheat update.
After I start the game, my WIFI and Internet connection becomes unavailable.
Comes back when I exit the game.
Other games work fine, router and settings are the same as before.
I tried to find any solution online (router restart, DNS buffer flush, 8.8.8.8 etc) - nothing helps.

Does anyone have the same issue?

Me too, I try to use the code 8888,but it is not working

Steam goes offline during the play

My Internet is disconnected by the game several minutes after the start, and Steam shows NO CONNECTION until I exit the game.
Still not obvious what's the possible reason? :)

It began to happen after the last anti-cheat update, before I played fine for 200+ hours.

Created a support ticket a week ago "Game disables my internet connection".
They suggested different steps, but nothing helped: troubleshooting guide, provided them my DxDiag and MSinfo files, screenshots, recorded several videos, disabled antivirus, uninstalled VPN (I didn't use it), run the System File Checker, provided CBS.log file, cleaned my Registry, appdata and Temp folders, tried Clean Boot - nothing.

I feel like I work for 2K to fix their issue...
2k25 is the only game that disables my internet connection as soon as it starts, and the connection comes back as soon as I exit it.

I am afraid this one is my last 2K game, seriously...

OMG, thank you!
After so many moves, this is what actually fixed my issue.
Just started using LAN instead of WIFI.
