Tapo H100 "local only" error
Tapo H100 "local only" error
The hub doesn't connect to the internet even when is connected to the WiFi correctly. I can see it on the Router admin page.
I have 120mb fiber connection
Same error as this

In my case what fixed it for me was that my router has a custom firmware developed by ExpressVPN. This firmware has a special group for IoT devices. Once I moved all devices there everything worked.
It's very clear that these devices require very specific configuration for them to work. Not sure why... Maybe they use old WiFi hardware? Who knows
It would be nice if TP-Link could provide these parameters even though a lot of people wouldn't know what to do withe them.
Clearly not an easy experience for the user. Not plug-n-play experience

Which firmware do you use? Can you share a link here? And what's the setup for the iot group? Can share a screenshot here?

@Wayne-TP just in case it were useful, i am experiencing the same issue. The problem may be related to the router. When i try with my hotspot, my h100 does work. When i use my router (linksys with open wrt) then it does not work.
Note that my dns is set t 8.8.8.8 and i have many other tapo/kasa devices that work with this router without any problem. H100 should not be dependnt on the router configuration of a routers
