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 Battlefront 2. 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.
My wireless isn't an issue for the other online games I own. I'm thinking the issue is with EA.

We should test your connection then. Do you have a PC by chance? If so let’s find out how your connection is reaching our servers. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot me the results? Instructions here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/. You'll need to have the PC on a wireless connection in the same room you play in.

The only pc here is my son's laptop which he has with him until he comes back home next month. The server has kicked me off two more times since I last posted, now the game can't find available games for me to join. I literally just played another online game before retesting this game and it ran smooth. If something is wrong it is NOT on my end. If this is the kind of experience I can expect from EA rest assured this will be the last EA title I will purchase. I am going to attempt to get a refund from the Xbox store.

We probably won't be able to find out why you're disconnecting, but we can keep trying to resolve this. What you're describing is common with wireless connections. There's a good chance using a wire would resolve it. Did you try opening the ports for Battlefront 2 as I suggested previously?
