Only one xbox 360 can connect to the servers using 1 router problem

We're still having the same problem, I can't play BF4 whilst my brother plays FIFA 15, it's ridiculous now, it's been like it since FIFA came out!!

Same problem here but with Dead Space.

any fixes for this yet?

Has anyone found a fix for this yet without going through loads of my internet settings?

I was able to fix this issue. 

Here's my setup, I have 2 xbox 360's + xbox one console all running on the same home network. 

The solution was to fix/adjust my router settings, once i did that everything worked like a charm and I was able to fun Fifa 15 using FUT. The two xbox 360s were able to connect to the EA Servers and able to play against each other online. 

Its VERY important that you Enable "Port Triggering" and Disable "Port Forwarding" on your router. 

Within the "Port Triggering" setup of your router, add the following ports:

_________________________________

Name | Trigger       | Target       | Protocol

================================

xbox1 | 87-89         | 87-89         | UDP

----------------------------------------------------

xbox2 | 3073-3075 | 3073-3075 | Both

----------------------------------------------------

xbox3 | 52-54         | 52-54         | UDP

----------------------------------------------------

xbox4 | 79-81         | 79-81         | TCP

----------------------------------------------------

Again, the key point here is that you need to configure your router correctly - the root issue is that each Xbox is trying to connect out of your home internet connection over the same port - this is not allowed. Each xbox needs its own port to communicate over. 

Hope this helps!

Two things wrong with this solution:
One it doesn't address the fact that this phenomena only happens when playing two or more EA branded games at the same time. I have no problem playing COD and GTA V on multiple systems. In fact, I can play any other brand game online while someone else is playing an EA game.

Two, this solution doesn't work. I have everything exactly the way it is listed here and still cannot connect two systems to the EA Servers.

O well, the only thing we can do about it is stop buying EA Games but no one is going to do that

SOLUTION!!!!!!!

Go to the system settings and run the basic system startup again, it will create a new account for you like stoprocker1882293 or something like that, once u have done that sign back into your original profile and start up the game. It worked for BF4 at least.

This worked for me! I just want to add that the only difference was that with my router I couldn't select 'both' for the 'xbox2' settings.

I only added the two new triggers - xbox1 and xbox2.

For both I selected 'UDP'

The ranges I kept the same as in this post. 

I used this guide to my specific router as well:  http://www.pcwintech.com/port-triggering-actiontec-mi424-wr-verizon-firmware

I have several EA account games (Mass Effect 3 , FIFA 13 and PvZGW.)  We tested using two simultaneous connections to PvZGW - the kids are murdering each other as I type this.

Really do hope this helps someone.  We've been looking for the solution for a week.

Sorry...as the badge indicates - Noob here.

'The solution' I was referencing was BlackBerryGeek's

Unfortunately, this worked on a Sunday but not on Monday.  I'm afraid we're back to square 1 at our place.
