It is a 10 Mbit/s half-duplex issue
It is a 10 Mbit/s half-duplex issue; I had the same problem with the tado internet bridge. The only way I could get it to work was to use a network switch instead of connecting directly to the RBE971...

Just curious, this 10Mbps device, have you connected this devices to all LAN ports behind the RBR to check to see if any of the LAN ports fails to let the device connect?

I tried everything before replacing my thermostat and internet bridge, including testing every port on the router and satellite, but while the Tado internet bridge cloud indicator light would flash on startup or when connecting to the network, it would then proceed to go off and fail to work; I reset it via the app and the pinhole reset with the same outcome. Then, when I plugged it into my main switch, it worked intermittently; the only way I could get it to work without issue was to use an older unmanaged switch, but I did not want to have one device connected to a separate switch, which is why I ended up just buying a new one that has continued to work flawlessly since.
