Some of the Tapo C200 Cameras Keep Disconnecting from Home Wifi and appears to be Offline
Hi
I have 4 tapo C200 cameras installed in my home. All of them have been updated with the latest firmware 1.0.17. I am using Singtel Mesh router with Mesh nodes in all the rooms. Wifi connection are pretty stable in the entire house. There is one standardize SSID which is used for all the 4 cameras and the entire house. I realise that after a few hours, 1 or 2 cameras seems to be suddenly disconnected and appear offline. I have to manually power off and on the camera switch to let it reboot and then it gets connected back to the wifi network again. Can you advise what should I do so that all my 4 cameras will be online 24/7? My mesh router is dual band. Does turning off 5Ghz helps since the cameras can only support 2.4Ghz? Should I use Dynamic or Static IP address? Any router config to prevent disconnection?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

@diogobsb I just use the Kasa-app, connect to the plug and then turn it off and then back on again.
Setting a static IP to all TP-Link devices has fixed the connection issue for me, so I don't even have to do that anymore. Works for any device that uses Tapo... well, bulbs and cameras at least.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have the similar problem of camera disconnecting. Is there an email address that I can email details to for troubleshooting? I am using a TP-Link WPA for the connection.
Thank you.
