Hello @Irishguy
If the app does see the Wifi SSID of router when scanning for the Wi-Fi signals. Please try some tips here
Can’t find the Wi-Fi name of the home network.
It is recommended to use 2.4Ghz Wifi channels among channel 1-11.
Ensure kasa device is close to the wifi router.
If still the same, may I know the model of Wifi router, can you share aphoto of the router's Wifi settings, a photo showing the Wifi scanning page in the Kasa APP.

Do you have a different phone, if so try a different Andriod or IOS device
Make sure VPN or some apps like Lookout, AdGuard is off
turn mobile data off and try again.
Can I know the model of your phone and its OS version, what is the Tapo app version thank you.

Hello @Irishguy
I shared an APK, an older app with 2.29.x from apk mirror website,you could give that a try and see if that makes any difference.
If that does not work, do you think you can borrow an IOS device to try?
Btw, when did you purchase the plug, we may need to check warranty for the device. Thank you for your patience.
