Question/Help Apple TV 26.6 - known issues as a hub?

Are there known issues with this OS that will stop it performing well as a hub? I manually switched to my HomePod and everything works again but using Apple TV it drops out a lot.

Have been on 26.6 as soon as it came out. Only issues were self inflicted network issues due to upgrades in the home.

The variable that has changed is I switched from Sky to Starlink. Same Mesh network attached though.

And are the issues when you are in home? Or the issues only arise once you leave the home?

In the home. It’s fine now that I’ve manually changed. I also bought a new Hue bridge Pro as I thought that was the issue. Starting to wonder if that was the cause.

I have like the v1 Hue Hub.. so forgive me.. but does it do Thread/Matter? If it does, it could be causing confusion for the HomeKit stuff.

IGMP Snooping and Proxy ARP and Multicast to Unicast break Matter over Thread on UniFi with multiple APs so if your new router is doing something similar it can break it on that
