    I've had mine (total of 5 plugs) for the last few months. With the exception of my own internet not working, haven't had a single issue. Who is your ISP? I wonder are you running in a dual 5Ghz/2.4Ghz network that could be causing the issue

    I run my Virgin Media in 2.4 and 5Ghz modes.
    I have them named as such so they are picked up as separate WiFi signals.

    Will this cause problems with these plugs?

    Iirc, you won't be able to connect to the 5Ghz network, only the 2.4 one.

    I've just the two here, and they're connected to 2 x living room lamps, and have never had a single issue with either, bar a few weeks ago, Google home didn't recognise the command to turn them off and on, but I think that was down to the app being updated, and was sorted the next morning.

    I have only 2.4ghz enabled. I can see them as active dhcp clients. Internet is working fine. The servers went down for 12hrs or so a month ago. Check the other thread on sonoff here. Also loads of posts on reddit about it. Multiple ISP.

    This has happened 4 or 5 times. For what they do this should never happen. The support might reply in a week or two. Sorry I bought them.

    I run a separate 2.4GHz network for all my "smart home" stuff and don't have any issues. When I ran them straight off the VM hub 3.0 they would disconnect all the time. Using a separate 2.4Ghz repeater seemed to resolve all the issues.

    I strongly suspect that the folk who have been ordering these smart plugs at the full retail price are having their orders fulfilled, while those of us who got them at the promtional price are being put on the long finger.

    I requested a refund yesterday and it was given to me without so much as a whimper.

    Meh, I'm not too bothered, I was only buying them because they popped up as a special again.

    Just didn't like the fact that they took my cash on the 25th of November, and weren't going to send my goods out until 23rd of December.

    That's an unacceptable timeframe in my view.

    Nowhere near overloading. These are all low draw, with the TV typically running 200W, and the other items much lower. To put it in perspective, you could have ten 55" Samsung LED TVs running at once and one small kettle would have more of a demand.
