realm hand-off disconnecting

Yesterday I started having a problem and it is happening again today.

I use an Authenticator for logging in, so I do not believe my account is hacked.

Last night I was logged in fine for quite some time on one of my toons that I use for auctions. I switched to another toon to raid with, and I was fine until I joined a raid group which transferred me to another server. Once that happened, I was in the shrine of two moons. I started to fly toward the raid zone, and I disconnected. I tried multiple times, logged in, and when the screen loaded, my mount started "flapping" very fast, and I kept disconnecting. I tried connecting on other toons, also located at Two moons, and immediately disconnected. I tried toons in orgrimmar, and they too disconnected once the screen loads. I tried going to other realms and had the same results.

I then rebooted my router and cable modem and logged in, and everything was fine, beit I missed the original raid group I was trying to get in, and considered it a fluke, or an ISP issue such as a dynamic IP change or something.

Well, today I had the same thing happen to me again. Logged in on my auction toon, was fine, logged in for quite some time. I switched to a raid toon, and was fine until I joined a group. As soon as I joined a group I disconnected. I logged in several times but as soon as I loaded the disconnected toon I would briefly see my toon in Two Moons and disconnected. I tried logging into other toons, and it did not matter what location they were at or what realm, I disconnected as soon as it loaded.

I tried rebooting my cable modem and router again, but have the same problem. I disconnect regardless of realm or toon location as soon as it loads. I tried playing other games other than WoW online and have no problems. My internet connection is stable, I am not having ISP issues.

This issue seems to start when joining a raid group. Specifically, after joining the group, and I switched to their realm. But now I can't log into any toon, any realm, and I'm "down" and can't play. :-( Again, I use an authenticator, and using Ping and Traceroute on locations I do not see any problem with my ISP.

I have flushed my DNS and ran the Blizzard repair tool. I am having the same issues. I don't know if this is OQ doing this or what, but this issue initiates when I join a group through OQ and I hand off to another realm. I am effectively shut down joining any groups. :-(
Looks like this is a bigger issue than me, it is happening to many people on my server (Ravenholdt-US). This makes me feel better, that it's not me or my system.... but I can't raid, which is disconcerting.
