This would be so cool. I remember not having a dedicated network when I installed the cameras, now that I have resetting them and adding them again looks time consuming in my opinion.

As I have a growing number of Tapo/Kasa devices, this is becoming an increasing issue/need.

I agree that such a basic functionality must be possible without a full reset.

There are many real life situations where there is the need to change Wifi SSID or password, more or less frequently. All other brands allow it, why not tapo? Resetting the cameras is just not a simple solution, especially if they are many and installed in difficult to reach locations, not talking about the need to reconfigure everything on every user's smartphone. That's why, in these cases, unfortunately I have to use other brands until this is fixed.

  @Home_Cameras   @Solla-topee 

 

As per your request I am voting on this thread and as other have already pointed out this is something that shold really already be implemented, however I can see that this thread has been going for over a year now and TP link still haven't updated the firmware for cameras so this can be done!

 

In my case I want to be able to access the various SSID's already stored in the camera memory so that I can change them if necessary. I have one camera in particular that is exremely difficult to get to and to have to reset this every time I need to change the SSID is senseless.

 

I can see the camera in the App and should be able to change the SSID from within the App, it really isn't rocket science!

 

Currently if the cameras lose the SSID connection but are still alive, there is no way to get into the cameras to jog them and get them to join a network, instead it's out with a ladder, climb up, reset everything, and then go through the whole setup process again. Ridiculous.

For a company with such history in network it's ridiculous to have this crucial feature missing. Like in my case that I have several tapo devices and want to add them to my the new tplink mesh network, I'll have to lose all configurations by reseting everything.
Worst than this is not have a proper browser UI to configure without the mobile app.

  @Shizenyasuya  I want this feature too.  It's ridiculous that I can switch between my routers based on the signal strength.

Yes make this option possible we have a lots of cameras and is not handy if we reset all of them just to change the password or ssid
