Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately, I have tried rebooting the router many times.
I also noticed that, even thought I have UPnP enabled, I cannot play BFV on both computers unless the ports are forwarded ☹️
My router wasn't provided by the ISP, it was one I bought separately. I haven't really adjusted the settings of the router much, other then entering account / wifi details.
Did any of the other solutions you mentioned involve the two ports I mentioned?
I didn't suggest a reboot, I suggested a complete power cycle with time for all components to loose charge. It can make a difference sometimes.
Other solutions I've heard work are (from the top of my head):
No problem, hope a simple of them works.
A networking switch is used when you want to connect 2 or more computers to the same point in your network. If there's more than 1 outgoing ethernet port on your router it's because it has a built in switch.
Switches are bit dumber than routers, they don't really process the traffic that much, they just send it along.
Lets say you have a router with only 4 outgoing ports but you need 10 computers connected to it, you would then typically connect a switch between the computers and the router.
Looks something like this
Lastly, this German person got his BF4 to work by some port configuration:

might be worth a look
The problem is finally resolved!
I bought a new router.
The router I bought was:
TD-W9970
I literally just plugged it in, put in my ISP details and it worked. I did not even need to setup port triggering.
Just for the record my old router was a DLINK DSL-2750U.
Carbonic, thanks so much for all your help! I really appreciate it.
Lol the idea that you made an entire infographic telling folks to wait 5 minutes to power cycle is HILARIOUS.
30 seconds max is all any router component or capacitor would need. Electricity 101, bud.
