Trying to setup Kasa smart plugs and my nighthawk modem kicks off all wifi to my house
I have the nighthawk model RAX35. I just obtained some Kasa Smart WIFI Plug Lite HS103's. When I try to set them up to my internet so they can be used my wifi goes down. The Modem disconnects all wifi and will not turn it back on. I have to unplug the Kasa Smart plug to get it to start my wifi back up. Something is going on between the modem and the Kasa smart plugs. I tried working with Kasa but they said it is not on their end. That it is on the Netgears modem end. Which stinks for me becuase I am a few months out of warranty to get support. Which makes it almost cheaper to go out and by a whole new modem instead perhaps not a netgear one at that. I am wondering before I do all that if anyone has had similar issues and had them resolved? Or would know why this occurs. I have set up another brand of smart plug and it works fine along with other wifi items I use but for some reason the kasa ones disagree with my modem. Thank you for any help.
Firmware version by the way for my modem is v1.0.3.62_1.0.1
I have several KASA 105's connected to my Netgear Orbi WiFi. They were the easiest smart plugs to set up. I canot think of any reason why connecting a smart plug would cause any WiFi system to shut down. Since the "complimentary" support period has expired, if no one on the AX forum has a suggestion, I would switch to another brand of smart plug.
