      Hmm, well that is a kernel panic so I would have expected a crash report. Perhaps you don't have SWAP enabled?

      Anyway the panic is interesting:

      panic: Unhandled EL1 external data abort
      cpuid = 1
      time = 1714888984
      

      The backtrace is pretty generic:

      db:1:pfs> bt
      Tracing pid 12 tid 100070 td 0xffff00009c22c600
      db_trace_self() at db_trace_self
      db_stack_trace() at db_stack_trace+0x11c
      db_command() at db_command+0x358
      db_script_exec() at db_script_exec+0x1a4
      db_command() at db_command+0x358
      db_script_exec() at db_script_exec+0x1a4
      db_script_kdbenter() at db_script_kdbenter+0x58
      db_trap() at db_trap+0xf4
      kdb_trap() at kdb_trap+0x284
      handle_el1h_sync() at handle_el1h_sync+0x10
      --- exception, esr 0
      $d.6() at 0xffff000097000a63
      

      Do all the crashes look like that? At least all the same panic string?

        @stephenw10 Yes it all occurs only when the guest wifi is used and only when the xbox uses disney plus on the internal wifi card. SWAP? It does this and goes to the errors like above over and over and reboots

          @stephenw10 How can I enable swap? It is a 2100, Jimp said there is a way to do it with the MMC

            Well I'd first try to capture a few crashes and make sure the panics and bac are all the same. If they are all wildly different it's probably a hardware issue.

            You can create a SWAP partition on the eMMC and then add that to the fstab if you need it. I wouldn't do that permanently though, you really don't want the write cycles on eMMC.

              @stephenw10 I think I found the issues, I have a CAT8 cable that was plugged into a different type of cable by way of a inline port surge protector, so the device assumed it was using that higher bandwidth cable and it would cause issues and crash the port. I just noticed that the fiber company did not use a cable of that quality as they only provide gigabit, so they only use the cable that matches 1000baseT <full-duplex> that and my system had this fancy high quality cable that provided 2500Base-KX <full-duplex> thus it connections to a dual female small inline surge protector, once I remove that and just plugged the new cable it fixed it. Weird right? that was a weird one. It never caused issues with the WAN connection as it would go directly into my power line networking TPAV1200 system before and that was smart and would provide the auto negotiation for the other side, now it can't do that as it is a simple non smart inline surge connection directly into the ONT, so the ONT thinks it had a different speed over the firewall and well that was the problem. It has been up for a half an hour now, but it doesn't explain why it would only occur with the xbox before and my iMac at the same time. Just weird right?

                Hmm, I'd be surprised if that was the cause. Almost anything should pass 1Gbps. And that WIFI NIC can't get anywhere close to that.

                But if it stays up.....

                  @stephenw10 Yeah it doesn't make sense wouldn't it still auto configure and know, maybe my surge device went out from the higher speeds and would just cut out, it uses diodes inside it

                    @stephenw10 But the external AP and the wifi card together can, would would reach that limit at that point

                        @stephenw10 I went to a new external AP for guest use with a VLAN and it stopped the issue, I don't understand what did it

                          That crash looks to be in the ath driver somewhere. Though it's hard to (for me) to tell for sure. If all the panics and backtraces are identical we can look into it.

                            @stephenw10 it’s only when I use the ath card. Something is causing it to reboot when the Xbox is on

                              @stephenw10 they all relate to that driver.

                                Yup, looks that way. So collect some panic strings and backtraces to confirm they are the same, a software problem.
