F1 25 update 1.12 making my Wi-Fi router restart

Since update 1.12 arrived, I have been experiencing abnormal issues that only happen when I play F1 25.

My computer is connected via cable to a Wi-Fi router, and when I enter a track—whether playing or just watching a session (time trial, practice, qualifying, or race)—even in single player, it causes my router to restart. I have an app that tests the connection and downtime, and no other game causes this, not even other racing games. I have run several tests already, and everything indicates that it might be some packet the game started sending from version 1.12 onward that may be corrupted or something like that, and this is making the router restart.

I have never seen anything like this. The modem stays on, so it is not a problem with the internet or my connection. When I enter a track, the Wi-Fi router (which is also where the computer cable is connected) turns off and then starts booting up again.

Because of this, every time I want to play, I need to disconnect the network cable from the computer so that other people at home do not lose internet. Due to this, I can no longer play co-op mode or other online matches. I also cannot use my Meta Quest 3 anymore, since Air Link requires both the computer and the headset to be on the same network. With the router restarting, it becomes impossible.

I know this seems like a router hardware issue, but it started happening on Thursday, September 18, the first time I played version 1.12. I have already tested various power surge scenarios that could have caused this during gameplay. I changed outlets, tested the outlets I used, and even lowered the game graphics so the computer would consume less power. I also tested with other games as I mentioned above. Only F1 25, after version 1.12, causes this.

I really would like to be able to play again.
