hopefully you can eventually find something to replace them with. TP-Link doesn't have a great track record imo. Poor build quality, bad software, extensive unpatched vulnerabilities, and accusations of spyware (I haven't gone to the effort to confirm that point yet though.) I messed with them a few times doing network support for businesses. Hated them every time I touched them. Maybe the light switches aren't as bad in all areas, but I doubt their networking is any better, it's probably worse since it's IoT.

All of mine are sequestered to their own vlan that can only talk to Home Assistant. But they do have ones that use matter now.
