I think that would be a bit strange if the performance related setting would get you just disconnected from server without any other sign of poor performace being shown in advance. In case of performance problems you should rather experience crashes, low fps or heavy lag.
Like Stormy said: most suspicious seems to be the stability of the internet connection. The ability of the router / access software to automatically reconnect can make it almost impossible to experience such a problem in other uses but if you lose connection for even a very short moment while on server (one that does not sustain the player waiting for reconnecting) you get dropped. You might want to test your connection using software or online service (e.g. pingtest.net and many others) that shows the amount of jitter and packet loss, not just ping and speed. (Just pick some test server close to you to avoid a false negative results coming from some distant part of network that may experience problems at the time which has nothing to do with your side connection components).
PS. some typical result for me is ping of 40 ms with the jitter of 3 ms (at 200 km from test server). That means the connection is stable (though not very fast in terms of ping). Should you find your jitter is high comparing to ping then you connection has problems...
PS2. also: I've just reminded myself the anti-leech capabilities (inactivity time out) NI uses does NOT kick players out of server but it simply strips them of the assist XP instead. My bad.
