C120 V1 - Firmware 1.2.3 - Causing problems
Ive just submitted a ticket to Support (After months of hassle!)
C120 Firmware update 1.2.3 is causing huge network instability, my Decos disconnect, my other Tapo devices disconnect.
After noticing the issues after my most recent device C120 and the firmware update to 1.2.3. I removed it , returned it to Amazon. and bought another with R1.2.1.
Worked perfectly and I bought another.
So I was up to 2 C120's on R1.2.1. working fine for last month, and like a fool I thought I'd try R1.2.3 again and now back to stupid issues, tapo devices dropping , Deco devices dropping , pictures below disconnected devices and app telling me about network instability.
I now have my network back by having shut down these two C120's .
I need firmware downgrade file and instructions. or TPLink need to take this firmware issue seriously and fix it. See below the Irony that the Deco Security services see the C120 as an intrusion security risk to block.... Come on TPLINK fix this firmware its wrecked many days of my time and its clearly a problem. I have two cameras I wont connect to my network until I see a fix or downgrade and I'd prefer a downgrade at this time.. please help and instructions. 1.2.1 was a good version.
Hi,
Firstly fyi I'm an IT consultant for enough years to be familiar with punched cards through to networks firewalls firmware vpn tunnels and most technologies so please consider I have some knowledge and plenty of experience.
1. attached are images that show that I have a large deco mesh network .
which deco it connects to is irrelevant and not something I can specify or isolate as it's a mesh network that any device can connect to any node.
that is the point of a mesh network.
frequency is constant and intermittent with no pattern to advise other than its regular, it effects the camera it effects the other devices and it effects my deco nodes
this firmware is flooding my network!
2. The other image shows I have received and connected a new c120 with 1.1.15 firmware.
And you see the two others offline!
network is completely stable camera is working fine devices working fine ring devices stable and deco network stable. and I won't update this firmware and auto update is firmly disabled!
3.appreciate you may not have the knowledge to help with firmware downgrade but I can do it.
Yes you do have firmware it's available here
https://download.tplinkcloud.com/firmware
I have already downloaded instructions and an older version
id appreciate it if you can give me the link to a 1.2.1 version and I'll try to fix my cameras myself.
many thanks
i can confirm so far complete stability all is behaving and ive only had issues with the C120s being on 1.2.3 firmware.
My decos stay up my Tapo devices are online no drop outs.
I've got this file
firmware/Tapo_C120v1_en_1.1.3_Build_230930_Rel.56236n_up_boot-signed_1697194362284.bin
which I will try later.
but I would like the last 1.2.1 range please can you provide me the firmware path to download, many thanks.
Hi as you can see in the attached image I've successfully downgraded the firmware to 1.1.3 ,
now I understand the process is easy.
Can you please ask technical to send me firmware 1.2.1 for the C120 V1. Please so I can get both my cameras on to a stable version please.
