Hi.

Same problem here.

After the update of today, build 1.3.5, everything stopped working, no more playback, user interface extrême extremely slow, impossible to use it.

Hope TP-link comes with a patch, otherweise is good to garbage.

This solution is ONLY applicable to the two problem scenarios mentioned in the article.

 

If your product does not fully match the symptoms described in those two cases, then it is not within the scope of this solution. Please feedback separately.

  @Wayne-TP after updating my H200 hub last week with the new firmware my red/green light went. But I've just noticed it's back flashing red/green again today. The only change was an update to a lightbulb this morning. I've rebooted the H200 and it's still flashing. The cameras seem to be operating normally.

Any ideas?

  @Wayne-TP thanks, I've replied to that thread over in the camera forum section.

I'm getting a bit confused as earlier in this thread it states (that's the firmware I'm using):
