I have a router and it came with a firewall on it, I only use it for my
computer with windows xp and for my xbox 360. Whenever i try to play a game
on xbox 360 with like 15 people or more, it doesn't let me because it says
unable to connect with all players. My friend said it's because of the
firewall on the router, he has the same internet but he doesnt use a router
and his works good. Is there anyway I could remove it?

The wiser thing to do is to Google and search the FAQs for the router and
XBOX 360 specific forums/newsgroups/etc to find the proper ports/etc to
allow through the router.

Call your router OEM's 800 number and have them correctly set-up the router.
They all have a Web-interface which needs to be configured.
My best guess is yours is not configured for "gaming" mode.
