Model: Kasa HS200  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.11

Hello so I have HA with several dozen integrations running on my TPLink AXE95 router, including some using wifi. Specifically, I have 2 TPLink Kasa lightswitchs (HS200) and 2 Kasa Smartplugs (103s). I've noticed that all 4 lose connection throughout the day. Sometimes I can go long stretches without issue, other times its every few minutes. I am trying to troubleshoot the issue but not sure what else to try here. I'm, wondering if the issue is simply with TP Link specifically at this point because none of my other wifi devices do this. Bond, Tuya, Govee2MQTT, etc all seem to operate just fine. It seems this issue really started on 3/31 at 3am when I have my router set to auto reboot (weekly reboot schedule)

  1. I run pihole so I temporarily disabled this to ensure not related - no change

  2. I tried different 2.4gz channels on my router as these devices all use 2.4ghz (using the best one based on congestion) - no change

  3. In the TP Link app I set Third Party compatibility to ON

  4. All devices have static IP via DHCP reservation on my AXE95 router.

  5. Rebooted the router of course. Ironically sometimes the disconnects happen more after my scheduled reboot every Monday at 3am which is odd.

  6. In the TP Kasa app, checking each devices signal strength. They range from -32dBm to -40dBm which I believe would be considered excellent

Is there something I'm maybe missing from a troubleshooting perspective? Below is from Home Assistant showing the connection. Grey is off, Yellow is On, but the black parts are what concerns me, where you can see hundreds of small vertical black lines starting 3/31. Thanks
