C210 Hardware version 1.0 Firmware 1.3.14 WiFi connection lost.
Got four C210 camera’s. After the last firmware update from 1.3.11 to 1.3.14, all of them will lose the WiFi connection about 2 times a week.
The led on the camera is red and on the Tapo app its off line. Only solution is to power cycle the camera. Luckily the sd card is still recording and all event are stored also..
Run the App on a different Android phone. It also shows its off line.
Is there a way to get the 1.3.11 version back again ?. this version has run for months without any problems.
Or are there plans to update the 1.3.14 to solve this issue ?

Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot the disconnect issue.
What should I do if my Tapo smart device keeps losing connection or going Offline?
If the problem remains, please confirm:
1. Your network diagram. Are the cameras connected to your router's Wi-Fi directly?
2. The signal strength value the camera obtains(Find the RSSI value on the Tapo app > camera's Device Settings > Device Info page after tapping the Wi-Fi icon).
3. You can enable the Auto Reboot feature on the camera's Device Settings > Reboot Camera page and check if it helps.
Btw, it's unable to downgrade the camera's firmware version, but we will help solve the issue that occurs on the new firmware.
Best Regards

Thanks @Solla-topee for your response…
- Yes, the camera’s are connected directly to the router's Wi-Fi
No change in setup in the past months and did work fine with version 1.3.11
- The RSSI value of the C210 is -27 on another C210 its -55, the other two have similar values between -27, -55
- Yes, switch the auto reboot on. If it lost its Wi-Fi connection, the next day its operational again because of the reboot.

Hi,
1. What's the model number of your router?
2. Take one of your Tapo C210 for a test, factory reset it, reconfigure it, and connect it to another Wi-Fi network(such as a hotspot Wi-Fi from your phone, the 2.4G guest network from the router, or other router's Wi-Fi, etc.), then check if it will work fine.
3. If the problem remains, please refer to the below instructions to collect the camera log for further analysis.

Hi @Solla-topee

Switch it to a different WiFi…. Will leave it for now.. It runs fine on the current WiFi network with the previous firmware version.

Hi @Solla-topee
One of the C210 got a red led on. But … its still online in the app, and I can see live pictures.
Auto restart set on @ 03:00 – 03:30 Before the auto restart its green, so the error (red led) must be generated a few hours later..
Check the logging setting, but its switched off again (maybe due to the auto restart). Set it to on last time.
Attached the log file… don't know if there is info that you can use.
Reset the camera via the app, and its led is green again.
