Tapo camera does not reconnect after router reboot
Hello,
I would like to report an issue with my Tapo camera that happens consistently after a router reboot.
Every time the router is restarted (for example during a firmware update), the camera loses the Wi-Fi connection and does not reconnect automatically once the network is available again. The camera remains offline indefinitely.
The only way to recover the connection is to unplug and reconnect the power cable of the camera. This behavior is fully reproducible and happens every time the router reboots.
Additional information:
-
The camera is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network
-
Signal strength is good
-
Other Wi-Fi devices reconnect normally after router reboot
-
The issue seems related to Wi-Fi reconnection handling after network loss
Please let me know if this is a known issue or if there is any firmware update planned to address it.
Thank you.

I had same issue today with a C410 and a C411. I had my wifi without internet access for some minutes, then when internet restarted all other tapo camera reconnected but the two above didn't. I had to go outside and restart them, then they immediately reconnected to wifi (2.5GHz guest wifi). Is not the first time it happens, very very annoying
Hello,
If your camera fails to reconnect to Wi-Fi after a wifi disconnection, try the following steps:
1. Disable Smart Connect, Wi-Fi Optimizing, or Channel Optimization features on the router.
2. Set different Wi-Fi names (SSIDs) for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
3. You can enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on your phone, factory reset the camera, configure it with another phone, and connect it to the hotspot Wi-Fi. After the camera is working when connected to the hotspot Wi-Fi, try to turn the Wi-Fi off and on, then test whether the camera reconnects to the hotspot Wi-Fi automatically.
4. Is there an SD card inserted into the camera?
5. What's the model number of your router?
Best Regards,
