How to Connect TP-Link Kasa Smart Devices to Your App

Your new TP-Link Kasa smart device is currently not showing up in your mobile app. You can get it connected to your Wi-Fi network by following these simple steps.

1. Locate the model number on your device, such as the HS105, which you will need to identify the correct setup guide in the app [0:20].
2. Open the Kasa app on your phone and tap the plus (+) icon in the upper right-hand corner to add a new device [0:38].
3. Select your device type from the list and find the specific model number that matches your hardware [0:46].
4. Follow the on-screen animations to connect the device to your home Wi-Fi network [1:06].
5. Assign a custom name and a location to your device so you can easily identify it in the app [1:37].
6. If you are setting up a smart switch or light bulb, ensure it is installed and powered on before selecting it in the app menu.

Ninja Tip: If your device fails to connect, ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as most Kasa smart devices are incompatible with 5GHz bands during the initial setup process.

If the device still fails to pair, perform a factory reset by holding the power button or reset switch on the device itself according to the manufacturer’s manual.
