If you want reliable Wifi at home, get yourself Ubiquity access points and throw away TP-Link. The issue is not the protocol. After many years of unplugging and plugging back in my TP-link router I know that they are cursed.

But: the Omada gear is awesome. I threw away all of Ubiquity stuff and can operate without cloud.

Yeah I was gonna say, I upgraded from my older Unifi stuff to TP-Link Omada and have had no issues.

Agreed. I have 4 Omada APs in my house — 3 wired PoE and 1 mesh.

I haven’t thought about it since I set it up, three years ago. 100% reliability, seamless handoff between APs.
