Hi everyone,

I am experiencing issues with my local network configured with a TP-Link MESH system, and I need help understanding whether the problem might be due to bandwidth limitations or some other configuration aspect. Here are the details of my case:

Network Setup:

• MESH System:

  • Deco M5 as the main node.
  • Deco X50 Outdoor as an additional node.
  • According to the Deco app, both nodes show 100% signal strength between them and between cameras. 

• Connected Devices:

  • 1 Dahua NVR DHI-NVR1108HS-S3/H (Static IP: 192.168.0.180).
  • 8 Dahua WIFI IP cameras with static IPs (192.168.0.181 to 192.168.0.188).

Issues Observed:

1. Video Delay:
   There is a significant delay in the video stream from the cameras to the monitor connected via HDMI to the NVR (several seconds of delay).

2. Frequent Disconnections:
   Cameras frequently disconnect, and the NVR shows errors such as "Failed to find network host" or "Login timed out." Sometimes, the images freeze or the screen goes black.

3. Signal:
   The Deco app reports that all devices have optimal signal strength (100%).

Questions:

1. Could this issue be related to bandwidth limitations on the MESH network?
2. How can I evaluate whether the MESH system is being overwhelmed by the cameras' traffic?
3. Is the Deco M5 sufficient to handle this number of cameras with continuous streaming, or should I consider upgrading my hardware?
4. Are there specific configurations in the Deco system I should review or optimize to improve traffic handling?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to determine if the issue lies with my MESH network or the Dahua devices.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
