Tivo recordings hitching on Orbi (Satellites connected via Ethernet Backhaul)
So... Recently purchased a 3-piece Orbi set (Orbi RBR50 + 2 Satellites) to try and fix some issues affecting my wife. This system replaces a Linksys router with a single AP connected via Ethernet...

If RBS are ethernet connected, besure to disable Daisy chain on the RBR and reboot everything.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.

Installed the Orbi base just fine though it took a bit more tweaking to get the satellites to recognize the wired backhaul than I expected (note this was still completed within about 30 min, just not quite as simple a plug and play as I expected). Tivo Bolt is connected directly to the Orbi router via ethernet, Orbi Satellites are connected via ethernet backhaul in a star, one Tivo Mini is connected through an ethernet switch to the Orbi router, and a second Tivo Mini is connected to an Orbi Satellite via ethernet cable.
Base Tivo Bolt works fine, no issues. Attempting to play shows (live, recorded, or streaming) on a Mini from the Volt results in severe hitching and unwatchable content. Any ideas?
