    I have just set up a TP link smart plug,don't know if ive done this right,the only way to get app to work (iphone) is go into wifi settings and the select choose a network,i select TP link plug 975 now i can can use it , but now i cant use my other smart plugs because ive now disconnected from my router, if i go back into wifi settings select choose a network again select router then my other plugs work but TP plug doesn't,don't know if i explained my problem well, any help will be appreciated.
    Tried on a android phone same problem,so basicly when you choose network ,TP smart plug your turning off Wi-Fi ,the TP plug will work on your phone (router not selected ) so wifi wont will work on your phone until you switch network back to router, dont have this problem with my other smart plugs they just joined to route rwifi not separate if that makes sense.

    Seems like a silly question, but, have downloaded and run the TPLimk app?

    Have you tried resetting the device and setting it up again? It doesn't sound like it ever connected to your WiFi.

    You're doing it wrong. You don't connect to the plug directly over wifi.

    Its just not setup. Install the Kasa app and go from there.

    You only select the plug briefly during setup then it goes back on WiFi. Get the kasa app and follow instructions all the way thru

    It sounds like you haven't connected the plug to your WiFi.

    Try the setup again

    One other thing, how far as anyone put a smart plug away from the house,thinking of my Christmas lights, in a insulation box of course, suppose it depends how strong the signal is, does it?
