What does the yellow rectangles mean?

After extensive google searching, I have broke down and decided to post to this forum in the hopes that someone can enlighten me and put this to rest. Pictured below is a screenshot I took in game and along the left side of the screen is a trio of overlapping yellow rectangles. I know this indicates some kind of low performance issue. Whether it be latency or fps. I play on a gaming laptop with an 8GB GTX 2070. I also have 16gb of ram. Does anyone else get that icon when playing any mode in BF 2042? What does it mean? Thanks.

    It may be packet loss or low fps based off past icons they used. I assumed it was packet loss when I saw it.

    I get it in every match from beginning to end, i'm trying to find out if the problem is on my end or not, and if it is, what I can do to fix it. I'm watching a streamer play right now and he doesn't seem to be experiencing it at all, so I'm puzzled.

    After I did some more research, I read where some devs said it was packet loss. Since I last post this I was able to use an fps overlay and my fps isn't optimal by any means in 120 player conquest averaging 30fps or lower. I am on a laptop albeit a gaming one, but it still gets really really hot. I play using a wireless connection to a wifi extender which is probably the reason I am seeing the yellow rectangles and experiencing rubber banding. Thanks for your input.
