Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Good afternoon, TP-Link support team,

I am experiencing an issue with a client whose entire network infrastructure was built using TP-Link equipment, aiming for maximum compatibility and performance between devices.

Below is the full description of the environment:

Installed equipment:

  • 10 Tapo C320WS cameras connected via Wi-Fi
  • Mesh network system with 3 Deco X50 units (indoor line, connected via Ethernet cable)
  • 1 Deco X50 Outdoor unit (connected via Ethernet cable)
  • VIGI NVR1016H for video recording
  • Western Digital 6TB HDD for storage
  • TL-SG108PE managed switch for network distribution

Problem description:

During testing, we observed the following behavior:

  • With the VIGI NVR turned OFF:
    • The entire network works perfectly
    • Cameras remain stable, with no disconnections
    • Wi-Fi signal has excellent range (reaching approximately 700 meters from the Deco X50 Outdoor)
    • Normal network speed (around 300 Mbps)
  • When the VIGI NVR is turned ON:
    • The network experiences significant slowdown
    • Several cameras start losing connection (verified through the Tapo app)
    • Wi-Fi performance drops drastically
    • Even close to the Deco Outdoor unit, speed does not exceed 10 Mbps

When the NVR is turned OFF again, the entire system returns to normal operation.

Request:

I would like support from your technical team to identify the cause of this issue.
Since all devices are from the same brand, we expected stable integration, but this situation is causing dissatisfaction for the client.

If necessary, I can provide additional details, logs, or perform further tests as instructed.

I look forward to your response with possible solutions or guidance.

Sincerely,
Wellington Costa

Is the VIGI NVR1016H hooked up to the TL-SG108PE managed switch? Deco mesh routers do not get along with managed switches even those made by tp-link. If it is hooked to the switch I would remove it from the switch and connect it directly to a Deco that's not hooked to the switch and see if that fixes the problem.

 

If that fixes the problem I would swap out the switch with one that is compatible with Deco mesh routers. You can find the list of compatible switches here

 

If that doesn't address the issue we will need your clients Deco app log to be able to trouble shoot this for you. I have provide the instructions below on how to submit the log.

 

How to submit Deco APP log

 

Can you also submit a diagram of how the entire network is set up. 

 

Once the log is submitted please respond to this post with the TKID number and a member of the staff will get back to you.
