Welcome to Europe and it slow networks.
However just been down the pub, Beer Keller!. They have Wi-Fi 6, not wifi 4 standard.
Looking around Fortnite Creative my Matchmaking is set to auto United Kingdom which sets the servers location.
Check your Matchmaking servers are not set to Asia and USA, you might be using EMEA server, but are you using the servers in London and Galway, Ireland
Global Infrastructure - AWS (amazon.com)
UEFN gathers all its information from Fortnite Creative. There are many things on Android and Xbox versions that are not available in UEFN

You can test you network by taking a phone and finding a WiFi 6 at a Costa Coffee shop on large brewery . The number 6 appear in the wireless icon connection.

Update
Taken laptop to same Wifi 6 network used on phone and now found my laptop only supports
only support 802.11ac where as
most Android phone support 802.11ax then it’s Wi-Fi 6 ready
but why should this make a difference?

Nope. Continues to be impossible. I wish I could bring better news.

Ouch :smiley:
Same here… As a workaround, I got a Virtual Machine on Shadow.tech and from there I have no connection timeout problems. Expensive, not ideal, but it works.

Check your internet connection and restart your device, it should do the trick and, also, peek at fortnite’s social media for any updates on the server issues
