Older AppleTV units can't get internet connection after tvOS 26.1 update.

Hey everyone,

Have 4 AppleTVs in the house. Two are newer 4K models, and two are older units - one is an A1842 generation, and one is an A1625 generation. All models auto-updated to tvOS 26.1. The two newer units both work flawlessly, but the two older models cannot get internet access now. They are connected to my WiFi network with no issues - full signal strength, and I can still project photos and video to them via AirPlay. But I can't access any content on Apple+, YouTube, etc that required an internet connection. Anyone else had this problem? If so, any fixes?

Figured it out, in case anyone else has this issue. Did a reset of the AppleTV, and that fixed the issue. Thankfully it was quick to set the older models back up using my iPhone and by syncing them to my other AppleTVs in terms of reinstalling and arranging apps, etc.
