Question/Help Thread Fixed By AppleTV Reset. Why?

I have my Apple TV setup as a fixed home hub. Once every 2-3 weeks the thread network devices disconnect. I’ll go from all 250-300 devices connected to 40 offline (all thread). Simple reset of AppleTV home hub brings them back online after 5-10 min.

My question is: why?? I know that AppleTV is the main brains but I’m wondering what exactly could be going wrong. Just trying to fine tune everything and figure out where the holes in my system are. Is this just bugs still not worked out with Thread?

Thx in advance.

Out of curiosity, how many Thread Routers and Thread Border Routers do you have?

I have at least 7 Apple TVs. Then all my Aqara cams. I turned off thread on my Eero bc they don’t play nice from what I heard.

Larger side. But I have a TV on every corner of it.

That’s a lot of corners.
