I had similar problems where I would turn in quests and it would crash my system or I would get high lag.

I did the following and it solved my problems:

1. Switched to a D-Link router. They make a gaming one that has presets for Wolrd of Warcraft for the port forwarding.

2. Set up the forward port for WoW to the PC I was playing WoW on.

3. If you have a Motherboard with a built in Network card, check the settings on the card and disable Checksum Offload. (I think this and the new router ultimately fixed my problems)
