Again - another day of not being able to use the Playback function due to the "Unstable Network" error message. TP-Link really need to seriously address and fix this problem as it a constant/continual problem. Please sort it!

I am again getting "The network is unstable. Please try again later" error message. It has been working OK for the last few days, then 'BAM' I get this message and am unable to download footage using the "Playback" function. This is supposed to be a SECURITY camera made useless by this continual error because I can't review previous video footage. Please can you look into this and sort your servers which has been an ongoing issue since 2021. I wish I had never purchased this. The camera is OK but made inoperable by the TAPO Care app and the flaky servers.

Playback on the app is next to useless and continually errors out and stops with "The network is unstable" message. I note that this jas been a continual problem since 2021! Please sort out your useless network as it makes Tapo cameras unusable.

I have just installed two C200 cameras today. It worked for 10mins and then has been showing "network unstable". I have tested the internet connection and wifi signals and everything is fine. When I read all the comments and realised this is a common issue for this model. Please help. Thanks. Kind regards Vivian

My TAPO APP has stopped working, it says "Network Unstable" on my mobile phone screen (Android). I have 5 cameras running in our apartment abroad as burglary protection! What are the prospects for it to be back up running?

Suddenly stopped working. A relative has set up the TAPO c200. I am a shared user. All was great for one day then no video. Says 'network unstable ' Was ok for a few hours now suddenly today Nothing and app seems to be locked. It is very important that this camera works reliably. Please sort this problem asap.

There's been activity in front of my camera all day yet no recordings waiting to be seen. Never ever had this happen before. My partners app is only showing old recordings and nothing new.

My Tapo camera was working fine for 3 months, but it plays live viewing only for 3seconds then freezes with tap to refresh message, when refreshed plays again for 3 seconds only, again tap to refresh. Works normal in android, it’s on my iPhone I’m having this problem. The phone is brand new.

When viewing recordings, i can only view them for a short while. It keeps crashing while i'm reviewing my recordings. It is frustrating that i can't view/review continuously without these constant interruptions.
