AppleTV keeps disconnecting from WiFi - eviltoast

As the title said, my AppleTV keeps disconnecting from my WiFi every other minute and I don’t know what to do.

I’ve restarted the AppleTV several times and it still only works for a few minutes and then it says there’s “no connection” again, despite my WiFi working fine.

All my other devices are still connected, it’s only on my AppleTV this keeps happening and it’s frustrating as hell.

Anyone had a similar experience? Or any advice on what to do about it?

    The money you spend on a new ATV with an Ethernet port will be tiny vs the value of your time and stress trying to fix wifi dropout issues. In my experience ATVs are quite stable over wifi, so my best guess is your older 1st gen’s WiFi adapter is sick. You could also try changing the 5G wifi channel in your router settings, in case a neighbor or another device is competing with it.
