What i have tried:

I repaired files
I tried wired and wireless network.
Disabled firewall
Ran as admin for origin, easy anti cheat and BF2042.
Updated Windows and my graphics drivers.
Reinstaled my network drivers.
Cleared Origin cache.
Redownloaded on Steam.
Redownloaded on Origin.
Reinstaled Origin and the game.
I found out that im able to play if i share my mobile broadband from my phone(It's not stable enough to have an good gaming experience.).
Port forwarded TCP ports: 5222,9988,17502,20000-20100,22990,27015-27030,27036-27037,42127 For BF2042 and Steam.
Port forwarded UDP ports: 3659, 4380, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300, 27000-27031, 27036 For BF2042 and Steam.
And now im out of ideas.
I had some problems with port forwarding so i contacted my internet provider to get some help. The girl I talked to thought that port forwarding was meant as parental control. So she was not much help. I was lucky that one of my friends had the same internet provider and had done some port forwarding. So i was able to work it out with a little help from him.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this 🙂
