NDI on the AV4250 switch

Would be new to me this router does have NDI6 profiles. Talking about the switch?
About 5 seconds is the time RSTP convergence recovery takes after a detected network change or failure.
Suggest to install the free https://www.netgear.com/business/solutions/engage-controller/ for keeping easier access to your switch, it's logs, and much more....

To be absolutely clear no NDI streams are directly connected to the ubiquiti router. All devices passing NDI are connected to the Netgear AV Switch but the router is also connected to the switch and on the same VLAN. So my question is: does this setup have the potential for NDI bottlenecks (packet losses) caused by the router.
As an example on my last job I had 3 cameras (2x 4K25p NDI-HX2 and 1x 4K25p Full NDI) connected up to the Netgear Switch and 3 computers receiving or sending NDI. I noticed that the camera feed from the Full NDI PTZ was dropping packets every 1 min or so for 5 seconds on my vMix computer but it was fine on my imac?
