#Matter connectivity sometimes unreliable

Hello,

I have a growing number of Matter over wifi devices and I'm noticing some occasional issues with some of them dropping offline. They either eventually reconnect on their own or I have to physically unplug and plug them back in to force reconnect.

These tend to be individual devices like cync undercabinet lights, a WiZ light, a couple things from govee, but I also see it with some hubs as well.

I understand this is a network issue and would like to talk about what settings to change or what to work on. I have AT&T Fiber with their crappy gateway as my modem and a set of eero 6+ routers around the house.

Using HA to ping these devices, I often see results like the pic. Does this help? Or let me know what logs to share.

Also I have my HA server running on a VM behind a managed switch. I realize the VM part isn't optimal but it is what it is. I do have a dumb switch I could migrate to if that would help.

Found a random comment online suggesting turning off UPNP on the eero. I don't really get it but this does seem to have improved things somewhat. Still would like to diagnose further.
