Model: Tapo C410  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I just bought a C410. It's a good one and has a bit more features than C210 that i got a week earlier. However, I noticed a significant difference in reconnecting to Wi-Fi. The test is like this: Turn off the Wi-Fi (I use my phone's hotspot for W-Fi). After a while turn it on again. Results: the C210 takes 3 - 7 seconds to reconnect to the Wi-Fi, while the C410 takes 30 - 50 seconds! The two cameras are side-by-side, and are very close to my phone (therefore there is no Wi-Fi signal issue). The time is measured when the blinking red light stops.

 

Although this is not a big problem, the C410 development team may want to look into why C210 can do a much faster reconnection and eventually improve C410.

My Tapo C410 has a firmware version 1.0.4 (just updated a few days ago when I installed it), and a hardware version 1.20.

 

My C410 takes usually around 30 seconds to re-connect to Wi-Fi, and once even more than 50 seconds. Only once I noticed it connected almost at the same time as my C210 (3 - 5 seconds).

  @Wayne-TP There is no issue so far about C210. My C210 has a hardware version 2.0 and firmware version 1.4.5. 

Today I measured 3 times. The first two times the C410 took about 50 seconds to re-connect to Wi-Fi, and the third time it connected to Wi-Fi as quickly and the C210 (3 seconds).
