You are worried about the time it takes for a rebooted device to connect to the wifi network, is it correct?

Do you observe a similar delay when you disable/enable the wifi interface on those devices?

  @yves_b Thank you for your reply. You bring up a good point in something I've been noticing. I'll use my laptop as an example. I power it down when I'm done using it. If I'm powering it on for the first time that day, it takes a good minute to connect to the WiFi. If I power it down and then turn it back on within a couple hours, it will connect to WiFi right away. Same thing if I toggle WiFi off and back on. But after sitting off for say, overnight or while I'm at work for an 8 hour shift, it will once again take a long time to connect. Same scenario with my TVs and other devices. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was rebooting the system every night, but I turned off that feature and it made no difference for this issue.

Dear readers,

I am actually experiencing the same issue with both my Dell laptops, on an x60 setup.

Weirdly enough I do not have this issue on my Lenovo laptop, nor any of my mobile devices.

Any similar issues around? Or any possible solutions?

Thank you in advance.

I just installed the XE75 Pros and I have the same problem, Samsung TV, Macbook, iphone, etc..  so far it happens on all my devices.  On a different note, all my Ring devices stopped working at the same time, now none will connect back.  Going to have to replace these devices if support is unable to fix this issue soon.

I am having the exact same issue with VX1800. My phone and other ON devices have no issue. But when I turn on my laptop after a long time, it takes 2 minutes to connect. I hope a solution will be provided

I have the same problem with my Deco W3600 devices.  I have 2 Lenovo laptops (Yoga and Ideapad) that take up to minutes to connect when i boot them up.  They run Windows 10 and Windows 11.

  @daniel23 I'm curious if this is firmware related, I have 3 XE75's but my firmware's 1.2.5 and I'm not seeing the issue. Perhaps rollback the firmware? 🤔

I have the same problem. I had my 2024 Dell Alienware PC connected to a low end Wifi 6 TP Link router earlier this year and it took forever to connect upon booting (I always shut down the PC at night). Then when connecting to the eero Pro 6 mesh router at my house with the same PC, I had no problems at all. Then I upgraded the eero Pro 6 to a Deco Wifi 7 mesh sytem and the problem came back and seems worse. If I bring my work Dell Laptop home which is not powered down, just closed, the next morning it takes forever to connect; and then it will say connected, but it will take even longer for the VPN to connect.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue from computers on the network, it doesn't seem to affect my cell phone but the phone is always connected so it seems to be "pre-known".

I have a Dell laptop that would take a good 2-3 minutes to get the internet. Wifi seems to connect but there's no internet signal for whatever reason.

I have the same problem from my desktop linked with a NETGEAR Nighthawk 6E dongle.

Once connected I get my internet link max speed but the delay is killing me every time I turn on one of the computers.

I tried turning off the QoS to see if that would make any difference but it did not.

Hopefully, tp-link will find this thread and propose a fix.
