@TBJ1946,

It looks to me as if the configuration process for the devices is not completing. After setting the device up in Kasa, the Wi-Fi of the switches should disappear as they will then be connected to your home network. If the lights are flashing, then this wi-fi was not disabled, or the setup failed. Does the setup process in the Kasa App indicate that the setup was completed?

Since you mentioned that you already had difficulty configuring the switches to your network, you may try connecting the devices to an IoT or Guest Network to see if the connection is being blocked by your router. This will also give you an opportunity to update the device's firmware if needed.
