Amazon FireTV won't stay connected to Netgear Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh
The Orbit Wifi 6 is great. No more dropped next camera feeds, the entire family can stream, etc.
The only problem we have is that our Amazon Fire TV will disconnect - usually after 1-3 days - and will not reconnect unless I forget the network and re-add, sometimes needing me to do that more than once. Other times, it will just start working again. Other devices have 200-300 mbps up/down in the same area, so there is no concern with range in this area of the house. Is there anything I can do to end this? Thanks!

What FireTV device do you have?
Depending on what FireTV device you have, it is more than likely overheating.
Firesticks will do it ifthe little cable is not used. Faulty or 3rd party power supplys will cause this as well.

It's a Toshiba Fire TV. Integrated unit.

It also seems to stay connected for nearly exactly two days before it disconnects. What might this mean?
