Model: HS105

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: HS105(US)

Brand New HS105 does not connect with network. Device sits there with blue-orange lights blinking. Device is within 10 feet of router. I have reviewed TP-Link Community for solutions and have tried several - no solution found.

1. Device Model: HS105(US)

2. Model Version: HS105(US)

3. Firmware Version: V4.13

4. Can you control the device locally (same network) from the Kasa app: No - never connects to show as a device on Kasa App

5. Can you control the device remotely (LTE or different network) from the Kasa App: NA

Thanks for the response. However, I figured it out myself. Here is what I did:

Using my phone, I found a network that I had not seen before that included "Kasa" in its description.

I attempted to connect from the Kasa App and got a message that allowed me to "reset the network".

After I reset the network, I used the Kasa App and was able to connect to the HS-105.

Problem solved!!!

Hello @RS88

sorry for the late reply. May at which step the set up failed and how the WiFi Led status on plug at that time

What should I do if I fail to configure the Kasa device?

If set up failed to connect to router Wi-Fi at latest step

- Verify WiFi router password

- If router use WPA3, try to set WPA/WPA2-AES

- Always turn off VPN on the phone during kasa set up

- Try to set up using a different phone if you have one.

May I know the model of router, the model of your phone and its Andriod or IOS version as well, thank you.
