Failed to Connect (EA WRC)

Whenever I try to join a quick play multiplayer game lobby I get the error message:

”Unable to connect to game server” Error code: 1040

I’ve been able to join clubs and have had no error messages when booting up the game (when it connects to the EA servers, I get no error message and it just continues to the main game) 

Platform: PS5 

Update: This error actually only occurs when connecting via my University's Wifi Network via an Ethernet cable. I remember I actually joined a lobby when connected to my home's wifi network wirelessly and it connected me successfully. That's just some more information for you guys to hopefully diagnose this issue.

    This problem is incredible annoying. Didn't happen before, it is a new thing for me. So annyoing to drive 50 km of stages, get this error and the result doesnt save anywhere.
