login to your router. select forwarding on left menu column. select port triggering. shove in the values UDP: 3659 UDP: 49152 – 65535
so ID is "ea server" or whatever you fancy calling it. enter the start port 49152 then the end port 65535 and the protocol UDP. then the iP address of the machine your using it on.
also open your firewall in windows and set a new rule with the values provided.

I doubt that's much clearer but hey... I don't have your router to make nice screenshots with
edit: after reading your router manual page 74-75 the port is just 3659 start and end port for a guess. so that's simples.

I mean in the router you just need to forward port 3659 and not a range of port addresses.
its 4:30 in the morning... not my best time of day to make sense. lol
so in the router open port 3659 with UDP protocol.
and in the firewall make an exception rule for port 3659 with a range of 49152 – 65535

yeah you`d have thought EA would have added the firewall rule in the software really. plus you said it run without the router.
pleased my terrible explanation got you somewhere anyhow
now you know how to port forward... you can add another for utorrent etc etc.
quite a bit of software gets messed about when it hits the router.
