I may have an answer to the problem. Not a solution yet, but what may be the issue. My network is 192.168.1.x. The TP-Link Smart Plug mini has a network address of 192.168.0.100. During the set-up process, the device will flash blue - connecting to network, but then goes to the screen where you're checking that the iPhone is back on the network. The device flashes amber/blue again and if I connect to the TP-Link, it still has the 192.168.0.100 address. As long as the third number is 0 instead of 1, it's not going to connect to my network. It should be able to get it rom the router's DCHP, but apparently doesn't. It's not getting the right network address from the router (Linksys EA9500). Still don't know how to fix it.

do you have mac filtering enabled on the router? make sure choose the correct wifi and input the right password. You can try forget this network on the phone to test the password.

Devices don't make up,their own IP addresses...a router assigns one via DHCP. So, the device is connecting to a router with a 192.168.0.x setup, and that router is assigning the .100 address.

Hi, alright, sorry, been a little under the weather so had to take some time off to rest. I did get it working. It was my router firmware that was causing the issue. I rolled the firmware back to a less recent version and everything started working as it should. So instead of being bleeding edge in my firmware I'll have to suffice with cutting edge. Everything is working as it should and I love it! Thank you for all the suggestions and help. I appreciate it.

@shawnjanes Same result. My Asus mesh routers (AX88u) needed a firmware rollback from an 8/31/21 version to a 7/20/21 version. All back to normal. I am going to open a ticket with ASUS to let them know about this.
