OK, then. Thanks @trendy I bothered you for nothing but learned new things at the end. The topic can be closed if moderators wish.

This is the software flow offload bug described above. There's a firewall rule in the other thread for how to fix it, but here's what I put my firewall custom rules Luci tab:
ip6tables -D FORWARD -m comment --comment "!fw3: Traffic offloading" -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j FLOWOFFLOAD
should i just paste ip6tables -D FORWARD -m comment --comment "!fw3: Traffic offloading" -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j FLOWOFFLOAD into the terminal and should i enable the software flow offloading from the interface?
Though i never used thesoftware flow offloading so don't know that bug affects me or not?
From the 21.02.0 release announcement -
- Some IPv6 packets are dropped when software flow offloading is used:
https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=3373- As a workaround, do not activate software flow offloading, it is deactivate by default.
Since you don't have an IPv6 connection, software flow offloading would have no effect.

Yeah, i never enabled it from the beginning so it would be weird to blame the flow offloading.
Thanks for the clarification @anon89577378!
Moreover this rule applies to forwarded traffic, but the problem here exists even on the router initiated traffic.
I was completely erased this ipv6 thing from my mind but just now while on the interface. i suddenly decided to ping agin and voila!:
I have done nothing in terms of config change compared to the point where i marked this post as solved. but here we are.
I really wonder what has changed since that time.
