Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hi, I've had this plug for years with no problems.  Today I got a new router (WiFi hub FAST 5364-3.TB) & am having trouble adding the device again via Kasa app.  I'm using iOS, so the instructions on both website & the Kasa app say I should connect to the TP-LINK_SmartPlug_XXXX WiFi network - this network doesn't come up on my iPhone.  Despite lots of trying, and moving the plug nearer the router with my phone directly beside it, I can't connect to the plug anymore.

 

Are my plug & router no longer compatible?

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Finding the smart plug's setup wifi has nothing to do with your new router so it's not a compatibility issue. Sounds more like you may not have reset the plug properly, it may be worth double checking the instructions and trying again. It can take up to a minute or so for it to start broadcasting.
