I wonder how many people, me being one, have Apple TVs on their networks.
I have 3- Could this be contributing to the problem with the router bouncing connection?
Glad the RMA fixed it. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Haven't.
That's a old post too. Has been updated since 2018.
One said 4th gen didn't exhibit while only the 4K did.
Hard to tell if it's a router issue or device issue.
No idea of there configuration or if there using Dynamic or IP address reservations.This something your seeing with your ATVs and Orbi system?
Where exactly are you see that issue?
What Orbi system do you have?
Using Dynamic or IP address reservations for the ATV?
Connected directly behind the RBR, or lan switch in the mix or are the ATVs wirelessly connected?
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF as well?
Hey Furry,
I know you are on here talking to probably thousands of people- haha
You've helped me with my 970 system before.
I looked in the Telnet debug log and noticed an apple tv asking for upnp stuff- not sure- but the times coincided with the network disconnects. So I started to look up if a device can cause your router to disconnect, and found a lot of posts about Apple TVs doing this- Even in enterprise environments like at schools and hospitals.
I have a theory- Could a hardwired Apple TV cause some sort of loop? or broadcast storm? not sure- figured you'd know better than me.
Anything maybe possible.
Something to try, Set an IP address reservation for the ATVs.Disable uPnP on the router for say like 12-24hours then observe behavior with ATVs connected.
If ATV disconnected from the system isn't causing problems, then reconnect and then you see problems, something ATV is going maybe causing problems.
Are you RBS ethernet connected or wireless?
If ethernet connected, direct connected to the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS? If so, Brand and model please...
- They’re both hardwired and reading as good
