Orbi AX5400 mesh set up with ATT Uverse and having WAP issues with TV freezing
I just set up an Orbi mesh system with the ATT 5826 gateway. I have the gateway in passthrough mode and the Orbi is in AP mode. I have 2 wireless receivers for Uverse and the WAP is connected to the gateway and not the Orbi. The receivers are now freezing for a few seconds and doing this every couple of minutes. Also have noticed that the receiver has rebooted every morning when the tv gets turned on as it is not on the channel that I left it on. The WAP has actually been moved to be above the rooms that the wireless receivers are in but that hasn't helped. Do I need to order a new WAP or is there another way to solve the issue?

Receivers not accessing DVR functions…
unplug all equipment at once.
start with the gateway, plug in wait 5 minutes
then the DVR wait 5 minutes
proceed with each receiver in 5 minute intervals
DVR function request initiated by receivers has to go the WAP to the gateway then to the DVR then reverse the process to fulfill the request.
As no issue with watching live TV on receivers means no issue with WAP or gateway, the problem is likely corrupt mapping gateway to DVR to gateway.
Performing a whole home reboot should remap the devices returning DVR functions to the receivers.
Pause, Play, Record, Rewind, Fast Forward are all DVR functions.

I was able to get the freezing issue resolved by changing the 5ghz channel on the Orbi so now the wifi strength if the strongest it has been. Now issue of the DVR recording not showing up on any of the other receivers besides the hardwired DVR.

Once the receivers were rebooted, all wireless receivers are now functioning as normal with DVR functions working correctly. Orbi system is working great now and have not had any issues with Wifi coverage or Uverse issues. Thanks for all the help.
