My AT&T BGW210 with an extender 2 feet from the EP40 outdoor plug cannot connect. I have other Kasa indoor plugs that link easily. Could the problem be that this plug is outdoors, with a garage wall between it and the extender? Since it's called an outdoor plug, I would think that the design would have to compensate for that. ISO far I cannot find and FAQs or helps on this issue.

@Rick2001,

This could very well be the reason, but I would think it would still be able to detect the presence of a network. Most garages in the United States are separated from the main house by a fire wall for safety. This means that it can often be difficult to achieve a reliable signal in the garage. Try to connect the plug inside the house to your account, to see if the connection is the issue.
