What should I do if I fail to configure the Kasa Smart Wire-Free system?

The Kasa app will guide you step-by-step during the initial configuration, however, you may not be able to get through all the steps due to some interference. This FAQ will tell you what to do if you have trouble getting through a certain step.

Fail to configure the Kasa hub.

Case 1: No LED on the Kasa hub or the LED is not flashing orange and green.

1) Try a different power adapter or power socket.

2) Ensure the power cord and the Ethernet cable is connected to the Kasa hub tightly.

3) Press and hold on the reset button on the Kasa hub for 15 seconds to reset the hub to factory default settings. Wait till the LED is flashing orange and green and then try again.

Case 2: Got stuck on “Search for Your Hub” and then reported “No Hub Found”.

Confirm your Kasa hub is powered on and connected to your router via an Ethernet cable tightly.
Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same router as the Kasa hub.
Kindly check whether you have connected to Guest Wi-Fi.
Check whether the Kasa hub is added to the Blacklist or Whitelist of your router.
Kindly check whether you have set a firewall on the router to block the connection in the same network.
Try to use a different phone to configure the Kasa hub.

Please note that the LED on the Kasa hub will turn off automatically after the configuration is completed.
