The issues take the form of a rapidly fluctuating link speed often followed by an a wireless adapter reset, or on occasion a hard freeze requiring a complete computer reset. These issues appear to be unique to MWO specifically while I'm in a match. By contrast Google chrome seems to be unaffected and I have not had any similar issues while playing War Thunder or TF2. (other online games I play on a regular basis)
Possible avenue for investigation:
After the first hard crash I found that my base filtering engine had been corrupted, I restored from back-up and updated my network & windows security thinking that this was the source of my the problem but no such luck.
The Adapter in question is a Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter installed on a HP dv6 Laptop running Windows 7.
