Need to change Wifi SSID without resetting the Cameras
Everytime when i want to change the WiFi SSID, I need to reset the camera. This is both in TAPO and VIGI Wifi Camera. Can you update the App such way that we can change the SSID without reset the camera

@talormanda Good summary. I have two SSIDs in my home because clients don't do a good job at connecting to the strongest AP, and having different SSIDs enables me to manually select the best AP, and it also enables me to check which AP I'm currently connected to which is useful when diagnosing network problems. Most of my cameras are fixed but I have two "general purpose" cameras that I use at variable locations, some times even on networks other than my own (for example at my parent's place).
In addition to the ability to quickly switch SSIDs, I think it would very useful if users could save networks selectively, and then for the Tapo device to connect automatically to any one of the saved SSIDs when the manually selected SSID is unavailable. I don't know if this would pose any security problems, that's why only saved networks would be used and therefore users who want to be sure their device only connects to one SSID would simply save just that SSID. This is essentially how smartphones work, which provide an option to "forget" unwanted networks.

@Solla-topee Camera is online and desire to change WiFi after installing an extension AP. Disappointed to fine that a camera reset was needed for this simple task. Reolink cheap end camera has no trouble doing this task.

I would like to have two ssid parameters stored and have the camera connect to the strongest one. My use case is I have put a wifi extender to help reach the front most camera but would like the camera to fall back in the case the extender ssid is offline or not needed.
