TP-Link's First Matter Device: Tapo P125M - Mini Smart Wi-Fi Plug
TP-Link has been committed to promoting the implementation of the Matter protocol. It is one of the first companies to obtain the Matter 1.0 certification and one of the few to receive the root certificate issued by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). The unveiling of Tapo P125M signifies TP-Link is making the long-anticipated vision of a seamless smart home a reality, lifting the curtain of the Matter era.
The ultimate benefit of the Matter protocol lies in its seamless interoperability. The Tapo P125M, similar to other Tapo smart plugs, supports control via the Tapo app and voice assistants. However, users are no longer limited to specific smart home platforms. The Matter-compatible P125M works with nearly all certified smart home platforms, such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings.
Apart from that, the smart plug can interact with numerous certified smart devices from other manufacturers, meeting users' needs for more personalized and unified smart home experiences. With the Multi-Admin capability of Matter, users can share management permissions of Tapo P125M with family members via different ecosystems.
The Tapo P125M is now available on Amazon.

General Questions About Matter
UPDATE 3/2/2023: It appears that the Matter Protocol operates using the IPv6 protocol to communicate with your devices. Please ensure that your network supports IPv6 and if you are having difficulty adding the device, try enabling the IPv6 Options from your router's settings.
Please Note: The use of matter networking requires the presence of a matter controller on your network. If you have more than one matter controller on your network, it is recommended to choose one of the devices; devices added to one service can then be shared with another controller via a Share Code found in the app where the device was first configured.

I was reading through some of Google's forums about the matter protocol, and it seems to be a known issue. There is a forum thread where it is indicated that the problem may lie with the google play store not installing the matter package alongside the google home app. If you are familiar with ADB commands, you may try to follow this thread.
Some users indicated that installing another Matter-capable app, such as Alexa or Smartthings may install the package, and fix the Google Home App.
For my case, I had to uninstall the Google Home App, and after reinstalling I was presented with entirely different options for setting up a matter-enabled device, and a bridge?; however I also currently have a few matter-capable apps installed.
Lastly, do you know if you are using the public preview interface for the Google Home App? If you are, the main page should have a button in the top left with the word preview in it, indicating that you have enrolled in the public preview program.

My smart plugs are rebooting every 3-5 minutes whlch results in the devices hooked up to them to turn off and on for about 1/2 a second. I can hear the relay clicking in the device and the plugs are synced in their shut off, even though they were setup at a different time, which makes me think it's a network issue. Both devices are within 5 feet of the T-Mobile router and show a strong signal and are on the latest firmware. Any suggestions?

Hmm, I cannot think of too many things that would cause this, other than a Wi-Fi problem or something happening during a firmware update.
Honestly, I would recommend factory resetting the device and reconfiguring from scratch, as its possible the plugs updated and now have conflicting settings.
Since you think it may be a network issue, you may consider first attempting a soft reset (5sec), which will only restore the network settings to factory defaults.
Were the plugs only connected/controlled by the Tapo app, or are they also connected to another platform such as Google or Apple Home?
Two other things to try: move the device to another network such as your Guest Network, or isolate the device and see if the behavior continues. 2nd: Try different power outlets or test your power to make sure that they are receiving a stable voltage and not rebooting because of this.
Lastly, what model is your router from T-Mobile?
