Constantly getting kicked from Starwars Battlefront II games

The title. I'll go into as much detail as I can here.
My system:
8 GB RAM
nVidia GTX 1660 Ti
AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics
Yes, I am playing on a laptop, Lenovo Legion 5, to be exact.

Now for the problem...
Every time I attempt to start the game, I start of disconnected, this started happening around the same time as the main issue I'll get into shortly. If I click the connect button, I'll get Error code 721. I wait a while, and then attempt to connect, it lets me connect near flawlessly at this point.
I then attempt to join a game, it searches for a while, before eventually finding me a game, I'm taken to the loading screen
I'll go through around 3 or 4 loading screen tips before the loading screen fades over to the main menu screen, before loading me back into the main menu telling me I've been disconnected with error code 201.

What I've done so far in an attempt to fix this issue:
I just reset my login information, and by extension, reset all login tokens (I'd assume).
I've flushed my entire DNS cache
I've reset my PC's wireless settings.
Hardwiring is not an option for me as my router is in the living room, and I'm in my room, and lack any form of network cable, though if it's the only way to fix the problem I may try to get one.

Yes I've tried to simply restart the pc or router, no change.

Further details:
I get 27 ms connection to the server the game sets me to by default. Stable, does not wildly fluctuate (highest it reaches is around 70-80 on bad days)
PC is capable of running the game at refresh rate (75 Hz) at max settings
Game is stored on HDD as SSD lacks enough space with other files
I have Hamachi installed for Minecraft with my gf, has been left open or closed both, no difference.

It may also be worth noting that I got the game for free on Epic, but still have to launch the game through Origin. Storefront shouldn't have any relation to this, however, as the game used to work just fine without any issues.

Please, I grabbed this game as a someone who doesnt' care for Starwars, but wanted to play it with my gf as she's a huge starwars fan, and she's been horribly bummed since these issues have started. I've avoided coming here for help as it's always the same generic responses, but I'm running out of avenues to take here.

    Hi there, @TheGamerShy.

    This is pretty common with a wireless connection. I understand a cord isn't an option for you, but another possibility may be a powerline adaptor. You could also try changing the wireless channel your PC is on, but the distance will still be an issue. Also, if your router supports QoS (Quality of Service), enable this and it may help some.
