      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. Our Tapo smart plugs are designed for quick and easy setup using the Tapo app. If you're having difficulty connecting them to your network during setup, please ensure your router's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong at the smart device's location.

      Please also ensure your smartphone is not connected to a VPN during setup, as this may interfere with the installation process.

      If you would like assistance with any of these steps, please contact our support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,
