Apple TV HD randomly loses wifi connection

Why would an Apple TV HD randomly and repeatedly lose WiFi connectivity, while all other WiFi devices in my house are working perfectly? I have done countless reboots and restarts of the Apple TV device and our router but, at best, WiFi reappears in the network setting of Apple TV for a few minutes and then drops out and switches to saying it is connected to Ethernet, but it's not because there is no available Eternet connection near the TV. The router is on a different floor of the house.

Interference can be very local from one place to another, just a few feet apart.

Interference can come from neighboring networks on overlapping channels. Maybe re-evaluate the optimum channels.

Interference can come from electrical cords and wiring and electrical household appliances. Maybe the fridge and microwave need to move. Maybe your cable management could do with some decluttering.

Interference can come from metal shielding and metal reinforced structures. Maybe the attic and basement would be better off with ethernet, or Wi-Fi repeaters, or a Wi-Fi Mesh setup for those parts of the house.
