I’m experiencing a persistent issue where my TP-Link Archer AX73 router (AX5400, Hardware Version V2, Firmware Version 1.1.0 Build 20240323 rel.70541(5553)) reboots every two minutes when I connect my Apple TV and HomePods to the network, specifically when the HomePods are set as the default audio output on the Apple TV.
Model: TP-Link Archer AX73
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20240323 rel.70541(5553)
Key Observations:
Trigger Point: The router only starts rebooting when the HomePods are set as the default audio output on the Apple TV. If the HomePods are not set as the default audio, the router remains stable.
Recent Changes: This issue began after updating the Apple TV to tvOS 18.2.
Comments: Resetting and changing the OFDMA/MU-MIMO settings on the router did not resolve the issue.
