As the OP says, I tried port forwarding without success. A port scan shows all ports as filtered, even when firewall is completely off and port forwarding is enabled.

Just to rule out ethernet, I changed the cable to another one and the issue persists.
I turned NAT off and it works flawlessly, but obviously now my WiFi connection doesn't work.

without NAT enabled: broadcasted the SSID, but had no connection wirelessly. Games worked perfectly (ethernet).
Turned NAT back on, been trying the port forwarding route again. Worked fine for a day, but its started to disconnect me more frequently in the following days from game servers (browsing still fine).
Some ports I had opened on the port forwarding still register as being closed on a port scan.
