Hey  @texasrichie,

If you were able to ping the device on your Deco network, this means that it has already successfully connected to the network with the given SSID and Password. If you are resetting the device to change the network settings, then you would need to enter the credentials for the network again.

It does sound like the setup simply failed or had an error. Try using a factory reset and removing the camera from your Kasa app (if it is there) to see if this will allow you to connect the camera to your network when going through the setup again.

Since the device was once connected to the network, you may check to ensure that there were no IP reservations accidentally configured.

Lastly, check to make sure that you have private addressing disabled on your phone, and that you are not trying to setup the device while connected to a VPN
