Smart plug loses connection all the time
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I purchased the HS100 last week and it's useless. It loses connection to the wi-fi daily. I have Sonos, UniFi, Hue all working perfectly and have done for two years or more. Is TP Link just poor quality? Am I best off returning and using a different brand?

Sorry for the inconvenience caused here, we can do some troubleshooting first.
What is the led status of the HS100 when it lost connection?
What is the current hardware and firmware version of the HS100?
Please check the signal strength on the device settings page.
Besides, you can change another socket to plug it or move it closer to the main router to verify whether it works well.
Best regards.

Thanks for your reply.
May I know how often it loses connection? How do you make it back to work? Like power cycle it.
What is the model number of your cellphone and OS version?
And what is the model number of the main router and its authentication type?
Besides, please tell us what the current hardware and firmware version is or you can show us a screenshot of the device settings page.
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

The latest firmware for the HS100 V2 should be 1.5.8; try to use the upgrade tool to install the latest firmware manually.
Here is the download link of the upgrade tool. http://support.tp-link.com/f/6ec140c111/?dl=1
Once you unzipped it, you can find an instruction.
After that, please take some time to verify its stability and performance.
Any updates, please let us know.
