Losing Connection to EA servers

Question

I've been having an issue where I get disconnected from matches after playing for 5-10 minutes (usually 8 minutes exactly). I've been having the issue for the past 2 years and it has occurred on every Battlefield game I own on my PC (BF4, BF1, BF5, BF2042, BF6). I've tried every solution I could find and haven't had any luck and I was wondering if anyone else is still having this issue or better yet if anyone has found a fix for it. I've tried everything I could find online or think of on my own, except wiping my PC and restarting with a fresh install of windows (I've seen posts where people have tried that and it still didn't work). I've also had three different ISP's and the issue has occurred with all of them. I'll attempt to provide an exhaustive list of everything I've tried, but if anyone has any recommendations or experience with this issue and wants to comment that'd be great.

Things I've tried in no particular order:

Reinstall network drivers (ethernet and WIFI)
Reinstall Nvidia drivers and all Intel Drivers
Port forwarding
Clean install of Steam, EA, and game
Allowing anti-cheat and game through firewall
Disabling firewall and Virus Scanning
Manually updating DNS address (DNS Cache is running)
Updating adapter settings to not use Dualband
Disabling IPv6
Running EA, anti-cheat, steam, and game as Administrator
Disabling .NET 3.5
Disabling .NET 4.8
Upgrading to Windows 11
Downloading the game on different hard-drives
Ensuring Secure Boot is on and working
Clearing EA and Steam cache consistently
Repairing Anti-Cheat and EA App with App Recovery
Cleaning out old drivers/programs that are unused
Tried Ethernet and WIFI with each ISP (tested disabling the driver for the one I wasn't using as well)
Disabling Overlays
Enabling Overlays
Creating fresh EA and Steam accounts

That's all I can think of right now but if I try new things or remember other things I've tried previously, I will update the thread.

Exact same issue and it's been driving me up the wall. I thought it was maybe isolated to just BF6 so decided I would grab 2042 and yup same issue. The fact this is still an issue is driving me up the wall.

It's obvious there is something the Anti-Cheat is not liking on my system. Same network settings on my PS5 worked fine and there was a single day of the Beta where it did work without issues so I'm still not sure what the cause could be.

Happy to do whatever troubleshooting required but this is ridiculous that it to be an issue.

Adding on the list of things I've done as well as the above:

Removed the old origin app that was still on my system
Removed some programs that maybe I thought it could be flagging like Oculus and Python I had on my system
Disabled Hyper-V
Removed Linux For Windows Subsystem
Tried running the game on Cellular (Laggy but it did eventually drop)

Still having issues further troubleshooting:

Removed more random applications from my device
Disabled all additional security features under Core Isolation
Disabled Windows Firewall (I hate this but sanity check)

Really trying to avoid a complete windows reinstall just to fix bad anti cheat software.
