Your problem seems to be independent from the current connection issue.
Try to clear your Origin cache.
All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.)
- Close Origin completely.
(right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close)
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder.
(The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.)
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%AppData%" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder.
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Roaming" folder.
- In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on the word "AppData".
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Local" folder.
