![]() ![]() I don't want to have to power cycle these devices after each outage. Once power comes back on, everything comes back on and online, except these smart plugs.sorta, but I'll get to that. There's been some power outage in my area recentely. However, I don't want to have to keep doing that. It can confuse and hang up your router when setting up so many at one definitely fixes the issue. But I have 17 smartplugs and 10 smart switches. Those instruction in the smartplug boxes are pretty simplistic and work well for a few smartplugs. When your are all done with setup and Kasa app and everything works, You can then connect your phone back to whatever wifi network you want 2.4 or 5.1ghz. you give it a name and will save smart plug settings Specially if the smartplug has to do an update during setup) This screws up the smartplug setup b/c it doesn't work with 5.1ghz. (what I found was my iphone when I switch from the smartplug in setup to the wifi network, my phone sometimes wanted to connect back to the strongest wifi signal(5.1ghz). now switch to your wifi setting on your phone and make sure or manually connect back to your 2.4ghz wifi network and then switch back to your kasa app to continue setup. On your phone, this must be the 2.4ghz network. next the setup will then connect to your wifi network to continue.Don't assume your are already connected to it. When smarplug is blinking the orange/blue or whatever colors, switch to wifi setting on your phone settings and connect to the smartplug wifi to setup. ![]() plug in the smartplug and press and hold for 10 sec until it resets and start blinking.On your kasa app on your phone, delete the smartplug that is not working properly or showing local only and reinstall it.Your TPlink smartplug only works and connect to 2.4ghz when setting up. If it is a dual 2.4ghz and 5.1ghz router remember that. On your router, 1st reboot it to ensure its running smoothly.The problem lies with your router and it getting hung up managing/assigning so many IP addresses and the setup of these smartplugs using 2.4ghz and 5.1 ghz routers. After reading all 11 pages of this tplink thread, with no clear cut answers, I finally I figured out the problem with these smartplugs not working correctly and only showing local only. I had 4 of 147existing smart plugs that said local only and would not work. Everyone, I had a heck of a time yesterday setting up christmas lights on my smartplugs and adding new smartplugs and the whole "local only" problems.
