If it doesn’t display the Wi-Fi name of the router automatically, please click on “RECAN” at the upper right corner to refresh the Wi-Fi list. 4\. If the router’s SSID is hidden, please choose “Other” to input SSID and password manually. 5\. Please change the wireless channel of the 2.4G Wi-Fi network to 1, 6 or 11. 6\.

If the Wi-Fi network or password is incorrect, click on “Choose a Network” and select the Wi-Fi network again. 2\. Make sure your smart device is within the Wi-Fi range of your router. 3\. Turn your phone’s or tablet’s Bluetooth off and back on. 4\. If the problem persists, try to reset the smart device as per UG/QIG, and then set it up again. 5\. Check if there is a firewall on your router. If yes, please turn it off. 6\. Change the wireless security type of the 2.4G network to WPA2. 7\. Try to connect the Tapo plug to the hotspot of your cell phone or another wifi network. If it works, please upgrade the firmware for the plug, then reset and reconnect it to your router. - [Dahua](https://knowledge.ic.plus/dahua?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Videos](https://knowledge.ic.plus/dahua?hsLang=en#videos) -
