Good afternoon and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

Are they connected directly to the router? Additionally could they try the following:

Check the following Port Ranges on your router/modem to ensure that they have been opened:
▼TCP
54992 through 54994,
55006 through 55007,
55021 through 55040
Your ISP can open these ports for you.
