@EA_Atic, actually, someone else had posted in another thread how to fix the issue. It's related to NAT Filtering on Netgear Nighthawk routers. We have to switch it from secured to open. We were able to both play together on the same network after that without any issues.
Seems like this was a known issue from Titanfall multiplayer. I'll repost the steps taken to resolve the issue, in case it may help anyone else here.

Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup
Change `Nat Filtering` from `secured` to `open`.

Additionally you can reserve the IP's for the devices on the network that will be playing multiplayer to keep them from changing. This is especially useful if you're on a wireless connection.

Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup
Click the `add` button under the `Address Reservation` section and select the device you want to reserve the local IP for.
