Also, do you know if your router has the latest firmware update? It's possible some ports were blocked and need to be forwaded.

Thank you for being patient, @AsphaltCowboy, just got back from the weekend.
Have you tried changing your DNS? Some players that have trouble connecting to our servers are able to connect after changing the domain service. There are steps on how to do that in the article below.Connection Troubleshooting

So I can connect with NHL 20 but not NHL 21 or Madden 21

It says on my EA account page on NHL 20 that I have been a member since June 11, 2021. That is probably the day the I chose my public ID name. Ever since then my game has not had a connection. Can you check if that is the reason? Can't remember if I had a public ID before that. It most likely would have been buddha1975.

Hi there, @AsphaltCowboy.
I'd like you to try clearing the alternate MAC address with these steps:
Go to your Xbox One Settings (Just press Start, then click Settings)
Go to "Network", then "Advanced Network Settings"
Click on "Alternate MAC Address", and then click "Clear"Let me know what happens. Thank you.
