That's probably the issue then. Wireless is unreliable and prone to disconnects/lag. Especially when the signal has to travel through walls and/or floors. This gets worse when there are other devices sharing the same connection. It's worse still when anyone is streaming media while you're playing. Until you get wired, or at a minimum, closer to the router, this will continue to happen. You can try changing the wireless channel you're using. That may help. Also, you could try opening the ports for FIFA. They are listed here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/. You can get some help with this at www.portforward.com.

@EA_Aljo I know how to get everything set up to port forward the ports. But I don't know what numbers to put it in the blanks under start port, end port and target port, that is where I am having trouble.

www.portforward.com is a good place to get help with this. Basically though, when it's a range of numbers, you put the first one in the start port and the last one in the end port. If it's an individual port, that should be the target port.

@EA_Aljo Is it better to use udp or tcb ports as both or use one of them first then try the other?

  You need to open both. As listed on the article showing which ports need to be opened. You can also get some good help with this at www.portforward.com.
  
  I'm going to be heading out shortly here and I'll be gone for a couple days so if www.portforward.com isn't helping, try contacting your ISP. They'll be able to step you through this.

    @EA_Aljo Thank you for your time. I am just trying to learn how to port forward, and see what I can do to improve the game. I will see what I can do.
