Model: Tapo P110M  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 240617 Rel. 153525

When connectin smart plug into the router network it works correctly. But I have 3 AP in my home and connecting to them smart plug just can't connect to the network. I tried direct connection to the router, smartphone hotspot and connection to the router with AP mode and only the last one not working. This is huge problem for me because I want to have plug in room covered by AP only.

 

I have 4 Tapo bulbs, 2 Tapo cameras and I have no issues with them. Only with the plug.

  @Wayne-TP i've done both. Still same issue. I find out te issue is not related to the AP but the repeater re305. When I switched to the AP it start working but the AP is placed too far from the plug so sometimes plug is not in range of AP. When connected to the repeater it is not working at all. I can't understand the issue and event after the reset repeater to the factory settings I can't login to the admin panel of repeater... I think I need to change the repeater to the C64 AP 😛

What is the encryption method set on the AP?  Do the wireless SSID and password contain special characters? What is the length?

 

Please note that Tapo P110M supports 2.4GHz WiFi in IEEE 802.11b/g/n only.

What's the error you received during the configuration? Is the Archer C64 set to AP mode or still on router mode?

  @Wayne-TP hello. Something changed since last time. Device is now connected to the access point but have no connection to the TP Cloud service. It is a available locally only. 

 

TP-link C64 is in AP mode

Main router is the Archer MR600

Try to reboot all three devices, router, ap, and the camera.

 

Change router DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. E.g. How to configure Dynamic DNS on 3G/4G Wireless Router TL-MR3420 (new logo)

Then that makes sense. When the WiFi signal is too weak or disappears at all, the smart plug cannot function well.

  @Wayne-TP I just purchased the P110M. Struggling to stay connected too.

 

It kept saying "local only". And if it's not showing that, it kept showing "no response" in Apple Home app.

 

I'm running Deco X50-5G as my main router with a meshed unit of X50, while the home hub is Apple Homepod Mini.

 

I have no problem with other smart home products from Aqara, Yeelight, Nanoleaf, and even the Meross smart plug that I intended to replace with the P110M at the same location (my freezer).

 

The P110M is so awful performance-wise. I can't even stay connected when the network shows pretty good.

What's the signal strength of the P110M?  (Device Settings > Device Info >tap the wifi/signal icon to show the RSSI rate.)

 

Try to restart the main deco and the P110M. If no changes, adjust Deco's DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. How to change DNS server settings on my Deco

  @Wayne-TP it's showing -52(RSSI). I've done all those before posting. Didn't solve anything.

Already reset and so on too. It can be easily added via matter to Apple Home but immediately went "no response" minutes later, without coming back online.

 

I've also switched locations, even nearby to the router. Not working.
