I have 3 C260 ipcam and were connected to my home 5GHz wifi network for above 1 year without issues.

They all suddenly lost connections since Friday after upgraded to firmware: Version:123 Build 260805 Rel.20715n. I have to reset them all and connect to the 2.4GHz wifi channel. Cannot look for the 5GHz channel anymore. My router settings have not changed for months and other devices are no problems connected to this 5GHz channel.

It this firmware got issues or the Wifi settings ware changed since this firmware upgrade.

Please advise.

Thanks

Ricky

Hi, it looks like your question is not related to Homey. I would advice posting it on the TP-Link forum:
