So, I have a rather interesting problem that I can't seem to find anyone else having / had...
For the past three or so years, I've been playing on minecraft servers via wifi. I've never had connection problems and it's always been fast and reliable. However, starting about a week ago whenever I connected to the server I play on I'd time out within a minute or so. I could move, and anything I said could be seen by those on the server but not by myself. I could break and place blocks but nothing would drop, etc. I eventually became fed up with this problem and took my laptop upstairs and connected it to wired internet, and the problem ceased to exist. I don't understand why it would only occur over wifi, especially when I've never had a problem with my wifi before.
I know it's not a firewall problem, yes I've re-installed minecraft, and all speed test results come back standard for my connection. Also, no other game nor the internet itself is affected by whatever is causing problems.
I have AT&T Uverse internet and here's my speed test result if it could be of use for whatever reason: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3651868480 I also pinged the city in where the server is hosted and besides my ping being higher (78ms), everything was normal.
Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
