KASA Smart Plug help!! None of them will work!

[Sandra the fish rookie]

Anyone know how to trouble shoot the Kasa Plugs? Suddenly they will not work and I am getting a device may not be powered off or out of network range.. and I never had that issue before. I turn my power bars off to do water changes etc. all the time and they always worked.. now suddenly they won't. My WiFi is working so I am not sure what the issue is. I checked site.. and its clear as mud what I need to do to fix it.. 

Anyone know ???

The only thing I know of that makes it say that is if it is unplugged or manually clicked off. Did you somehow trip the breaker?

You can power cycle them; then be patient they are slow to connect to wifi. Make sure wifi is turned on on your phone and (if concern) turn off mobile data. Also if i remember the kasa will only connect to older wifi technology - you can check the specs - make sure the type of wifi they require is turned on on your router. I think they don't work with the newer 5g. I think they require 2.4g.

The breaker is fine, and I am on WiFi. I also checked the strength.. and its all fine and reading strong..

I’ve had an issue where one of my Kasa plugs switches to “Local Only” and the only solution for me is to reset the plug and redo the configuration.  I’ve searched online and can find no other solution.

@TMartins I tried that too.. and suddenly it can't "find" my WiFi.. but ALL my stuff is connected to WiFi without any issue. It won't even re config it.. I have NO idea what is happening..
