FWiW
My personal Direct TV receiver (admittedly an older model) will not talk
on its Ethernet port. I "must" use their add-on WiFi device to connect
it to the Internet.

Does Direct TV have a problem with their WiFi? I'm not talking about
video to other Genies around the house, but from the router (2.4 GHz)
to the receiver.
I usually see the router reporting a signal from the Direct TV box in
the -25 to -35 range, I suspect people have them right next to each
other, but they won't listen to me and use a cable.
Could it be they are too close and the signal is too hot? I'm not
sure if I should try turning down the transmit power on the Mikrotik,
but that seems like it would invite problems with other devices like
phones.
