The ones that pertain to the router would be the traffic shaping and the DMZ.
Traffic Shaping I doubt you have on your router if you aren't very familiar with what router you have and logging into it. We can probably scratch that. If you have a gaming computer it might have a Killer network port (killer is the brand name). Their software has some type of traffic shaping if it's running. It would be a running process probably at the bottom right corner. Probably don't have anything like that though.. so we can ignore that.
The DMZ is pretty easy to do. Once logged into your router it should have a tab or link that points you to a page for DMZ. The ones I've seen have been pretty out in the open and easy to use. Just typing the current IP address of the computer usually without even needing to set a manual static IP.
uPnP is a setting on your router that will automatically forward ports. If most games work then it's probably already turned on. Sometimes it can cause problems in some situations but probably not for this.
Setting your DNS can be done on the router but it can also be done from your computer's Network Adapter Settings under IPv4.

VPN would also be done on your computer. Something like WTfast or VyperVPN have free trials. I would assume no CC is needed, if they want one then don't do it. The only purpose of this would be to see if it's something fishy with your ISP. Probably not it either.

The simpliest thing you could try is to unplug your Router and Modem. Leave them unplugged for a good 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. I should have meantioned this earlier.
It smells network related to me. Unlikely on EA's end since it doesn't sound widespread, so either your ISP or the equipment in your house.
To log into routers you type it's IP address into a web browser. It's the "Gateway" under your connection properties. Usually it's something like 192.168.1.1 but not always. You probably don't know the User/Pass so by googling your model # + "default password" it should show. Usually they are easy like Admin/1234 or Administrator/administrator or Admin/Admin or admin/*blank*. If your router is rented from your ISP you might not even have access to log into it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.. I'm really just completely guessing at things to try to narrow it down.
I unplugged my router and modem for 5 mins and that did not work :c The other solution your talking about, what do I do with the DMZ?
It varies by router brand and model. Here is an examle though:
Somewhere in your router setup pages is a page called DMZ most likely (possibly it's thrown in with something else). Put the IP address of your computer (example: 192.168.1.5) and save it. If that solves it then we know it's a port forwarding or uPnP problem. If it does nothing then atleast we know it isn't that I guess.
Once again that didnt work, I put in my pc IP address and clicked choose and it didnt work 😕mileyfrustrated: So the other solution was involving my upnp? How would I do that?
Plz help me ;-; I wanna play my garden warfare... Sorry if I sound rude, I am just frustrated...
