@Stella.Q sorry to tag you but can anyone from tp-link give an official word on this, thankyou in advance

maybe no help, but i can replicate your issue by switching on dos protection on my tplink router vr2800 fw 0.4.0 chromecast samsung j3 2017 tplink send out malformed/too many mdns packets switch dos...

@MrMark this is normal. very bad and very poor but very normal :-( kasa cams are only visible on chromecasts and 'hub' screens and even then you only get a few minutes before they stop the stream....

@mocelet thankyou for the reply. i am thinking this also... i just find it strange that in a home product... setting everything to high with the default 3600p/sec would in fact be the lowest...

nobody at tplink knows what their settings actually do???

if i set the packet threshold to the exact same value for all 3 of low/medium/high in dos protection - does it matter what i choose? i.e: medium tcp at 3000 packets is different or the same as high...
