Automatic reconnect on WLAN disconnectivity?

Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.18

Hello -

 

following problem: my Tapo C210 is connected to our network at home via WLAN. Works fine so far. But unfortunately it always shows a red light in the morning and is not accessible via the app or my NAS software. I need to reboot (power off/on). I suspect that the automatic switching off of the WLAN of my Fritzbox router ensures that the camera has no WLAN - this is not surprising. But: I would have thought that it would automatically reconnect when the WLAN is online again! Isn't that the case? Do I have to pull the power plug every time there is a WLAN failure/problem/shutdown? I can't restart it via the app if there is no wifi connection... Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

 Hello  @Mick42 

If it's short time Wifi outage on the Wifi network like for a few mins smart device will try to connect wifi network and reconnect to your Wifi network.

If the camera has a red led, the smart device lost Wifi connection from the Wifi network, and you could try some suggestion here 

What should I do if my Tapo smart camera keeps losing connection or going Offline?

Please ensure other network devices has stable connection and does not experience any unstable issue.

Thanks for the answer! It looks like my application is too specific.... :-) My WLAN is running yes. I only turn it off for a few hours at night to save power. Sure, then I also have no camera monitoring, but the monitoring I really need only from mornings when I'm not at home. It would be nice if there was a function that the camera would try, for example, every hour to establish the WLAN connection. Best regards!

Thank you for replying with more information! You could try to set up an Auto reboot for your Tapo camera shortly after the router is rebooted (e.g. reboot router at 2AM, reboot camera at 2:15)  this should help camera to recover the connection with router.

Oh, bingo! I had not yet noticed this function. That might help - thanks!
