Entire PC disconnects from Internet (Ethernet) Mid-Game. (Only happening in BF6)

This is still happening 20 days after my original post so im posting again.

Ethernet connected internet drops mid game and sometimes only a few minutes into a game. All other devices connected to the internet are still operating without interruptions when this happens. I already tried updating to the most recent Realtek drivers which came out 12/4/25, as well as disabling power saving/offload features in Realtek PCIe GbE adapter properties. I also hardlined directly to my router instead of using my wall ethernet ports. After doing this, I was able to play a few hours and then the disconnects began happening again during peak hours which leads me to believe this is a Battlefield issue and not an issue on my end. Also worth noting, this PC is relatively new (about 4 months old) with specs above recommended for this game

    Thank yoi for the response. However, this issue is only happening with BF6 and doesn't happen when I play other heavily populated games like Arc Raiders or Tarkov, which leads me to believe it's not an issue with router or ISP. Could it be something specifically related to BF6 that would disconnect only my PC. If it was a router or ISP issue wouldn't I be having issues with other devices also connected to it?

    BF6 probably uses ports that some home routers and ISP routers have trouble with.

    For example, BF6 might be trying to send network packets to port 12345 on your home router, but that port is closed on the router or not properly being forwarded from the router to the PC.

    Does Cloadflare Warp free VPN fix the issue? If yes, that would be useful troubleshooting information.

    If I don't reply to your post then personal message me. Sometimes the forum fails to notify me when someone replies.

  • Same exact issue I'm suffering from, and I believe hundreds if not thousands are as well.

  • AngryMnkyInc​ see if using Cloudflare Warp free VPN fixed the issue. If it does then the disconnects are probably being caused by a home router or ISP issue.
