C660 pairing timeout after initial setup and firmware update

Model: Tapo C660 KIT  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Got it up and running on initial pairing, connected to dual-band wifi (2.4 & 5 ghz), and showed up in the app. It performed a firmware update as part of the installation, and after the firmware update, it wouldn't show up in the app. I removed the device, reset it, and tried to reconnect. I have tried it with two phones (Apple and Android) and the results are the same.

 

It finds the device on bluetooth, connects to the wifi, but fails to pair. To test, I also tried disabling 5 ghz wifi and got the same results. It connects to wifi initially, then when it gets to the pairing step in the setup, it just times out. I have also tried keeping and removing the saved wifi information from the previous attempt.

Please make sure your Tapo app is updated. You can try to delete and reinstall the app. Do NOT enable VPN on your phone during the configuration.

 

Create a guest WiFi on your router or a hotspot WiFi on another phone, then try to connect the camera to this temporary network and see if that works.

 

If the problem still exists, please contact technical support for further assistance.

  @ClaytonW Thanks! I reached out to support as well and the fix was to force the wifi specifically to:

 

Adjust the router’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi settings as follows:
• Channel: 6
• Channel Width: 20 MHz
• Encryption/Security: WPA2

 

Once I did that, I was able to get the camera to sync after it connected to wifi.
