When I was trying to fix this, I read somewhere that turning off IPv6 (I think it’s under the advanced section of Eero settings) fixed it for them. I would also try to restore the Apple TV to factory settings (which requires internet connection... so maybe if you have an Eero that isn’t connected to your modem, bring that to TV temporarily and connect Ethernet. Also have I guess I should mention that when I did this and fixed it by turning off WPA3, at first it complained again with the error, but when I clicked the center button on the remote, it finally let me enter the password. Hopefully you can get it working!
