Several Tapo C100s - Always going offline
I have 4 Tapo C100 cameras around my house and they are constantly going offline. It is impossible to keep them online for longer than about 30 minutes. If I reboot the router, they will all come back online then disconnect after a while. I have a wfi 6 wireless tri-band 3 node mesh (with backhaul) and have tried all possible solutions. All the cameras are within 15 feet of the wireless nodes. Why do the cameras keep disconnecting?

If this occurs on all the cameras, this might be related to router settings or wireless environment. Here are some tips that you could give it try :
- For a test, temporarily turning off mesh for smart home devices only (if mesh has this option) or turn mesh off for a test
- Check if there is any Advanced WiFi settings on main Router turn off to help isolate the issue:
- Band steering(Smart Connect)/ Channel optimization(Wi-Fi Optimizing), those settings may force device on a different band or change channel and may cause some trouble for smart devices,
- Ensure Tapo camera has good Wi-Fi signal as guide here:
