Model: Tapo C320WS  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi all

 

I have just bought the Tapo 320WS, and set it up, and it's working.

 

During Setup (in the Tapo app for Android), I was asked If I want to connect the camera with Ethernet or Wi-Fi,

and in the same screen there was a note that "this decision is only for Setup".

 

I chose Ethernet, and configured the camera.

 

 

Now when it's added and fully configured,

the app does not seem to have a Setting for changing the the connectivity from Ethernet to Wi-Fi.

 

I went over all settings for this camera, in the app (for Android),

and unfortunately couldn't find any mentioning of Ethernet/Wi-Fi.

 

 

My suggestion:

 

Please add in the Camera Settings an option to Choose Ethernet vs Wi-Fi,

and under it, there will be 2 fields for setting the WLAN SSID and Password..

 

That will spare users from the need to Reset the camera for changing Ethernet -> Wi-Fi connectivity..

 

It's a simple addition, yet a useful one that will save hassle to the camera users..

 

 

Please note:

My camera model is Tapo 320WS, but this is relevant to all Tapo cameras who has both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity options.

(eg the Tapo 310 model)

 

 

Thank you very much.

  @spaceman5 

thank you for letting us know your concern and share the detailed scenario, being able to switching to Wi-Fi/ Ethernet sounds great.

If any user found this can be helpful or meet the same difficulty while reconfiguring the camera when switching the Ethernet/Wi-Fi, please let vote and share your comments below. Thank you!
