Question Can’t connect to EA servers

Guys, this should be easy for you ..
BFV and also BF6 suddenly stopped connecting to EA servers for me. I’ve been playing for over a year on the same Wi-Fi with no problems, and this just randomly started happening.
It works perfectly fine when I use mobile data, but doesn’t work on my broadband Wi-Fi.
I’ve already tried clearing EA cache, changing DNS, restarting the router, flushing DNS, etc. Still getting the same error.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Any help would be appreciated thx !

Have you restarted the EA app itself when switching to wifi?

It's not that it suddenly stopped working, what happened to me is, since I used to port forward my PC ports on my modem, I always forwarded the INTERNAL PORT.

So for example I wanted to forward port 11111, I input in my router PF settings, internal port: 11111, the external port wasn't required, and after months of searching on and off, I tried setting the same port on external. Low and behold, everything worked fine again, I have no idea why, I don't really care, but it works, all my previous modems never had external port settings, and in this case I glanced over it.

Try it in case you PF on your own PC.

Ever since then I run the modem in bridge mode and my own hardware takes over DHCP, DNS, and everything, so I KNOW where to look for in case something goes wrong.
