ORBI Satellites to directv recorders not staying connected 2.1.1.16

Connection between two Directv recorders for shared play lists between the two ORBI sattilite units in my system keeps loosing connection and I have to reset both ORBI sattilites to re-establish the connection between the Directv recorders. NOTE: Both recorders are connected to the ORBI sattilites via hardwire. NOTE: A third Directv recorder is hardwire connected to the ORBI base router and never looses connection with either Directv recorder that are connected to the two seperate ORBI sattilites. I tried to disable the "daisy chain" feature but then I could not estabilsh a connection between the two recorders connected to two individual ORBI sattilites.

    Have you tried to reserve the Ip address of all the directv units on the router?
