H100 hub losing network connection
H100 hub losing network connection
I have been finding that my sensors haven't been working all the time recently and I've been able to narrow down the issue to my H100 hub. What I've discovered is that the hub is constantly losing network connection for a few seconds then coming back online and then going down again. I determined that this is the case by pinging the hub's IP address from my computer and my router. So I thought, no problem, I'll just firmware upgrade the device and hope that this issue stops. However, the connection is dropping out so regularly that the firmware update cannot complete.
So next I decided to buy another H100 to see if the same issue happens with another identical device. Turns out it does also happen with a brand new device. However on this second device, I was able to perform a firmware update to v1.5.5 Build 240105 (HW v1.0) but found that the
device is still dropping pings constantly as regularly as the first device (see belowe screenshot).
Now I know you might be thinking, it must be an issue with my network or my router. I certainly did too. However, after thorough testing, I have confirmed that this issue is not present with any other Tapo device, TP-Link device or other wireless device. I have also checked over my router and turned off Band Steering and 5 Ghz etc. but to no avail.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue recently?

I have the same issue with an Amazon brought h100. Constant network loss then unable to update firmware yesterday. New h100 arrived today which updated firmware with no problems but once completed the hub keeps losing connection. Even with no devices connected, the issue persists evident by the light blinking blue once then turning solid orange. The network loss seems more frequent when the hub is asked to do something.

Hi. Same issue here. I have different tapo devices (cams, smart plugs) connected and working, but the tapo h100 keeps loosing the connection. I have an Eero 6 router. Both Eero and h100 firmwares updates. Issue started some weeks ago. Before it was working. Any solution?

Do you use any other third-party software/services to manage Tapo devices? For example, the Home Assistant?
Tapo H100 supports local support on the latest firmware version. Please check how many of your automation rules are adapted to the Local Smart, which can be run locally without Internet access. The local smart entries will be marked with a Kasa or Tapo logo.

@Wayne-TP no - just the tapo app, also I don't have any automation rules set at all. I'm testing connectivity by trying to change the ringtone in the app which sometimes works, often doesn't. Whether it responds or not tallies up with the device pinging - output below showing the cyclical behaviour. I've tried different wifi networks too, same result.
