Troubleshooting Intertek Smart Plug Connectivity Issues

Reboot Your Router

If you’re having issues getting your Intertek smart plug to connect to Wi-Fi, or it’s connected but keeps disconnecting, rebooting your router might do the trick.

You can quickly reboot your router by unplugging it from the power outlet. Then wait 20-30 seconds and plug it back in.

If this doesn’t help, try the next troubleshooting step.

Make Sure Your Phone and the Plug Are On the Same Network

You may not be able to get your Intertek smart plug to connect to Wi-Fi if your phone is not connected to the same Wi-Fi you want to connect the plug to.

Check that your phone (where the app is installed) is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

More so, ensure that you’re entering the correct Wi-Fi password in the app.

Change Your Wi-Fi Band

This smart plug doesn’t support the 5GHz Wi-Fi but 2.4GHz. If you have a dual band router, it’s best to set it to broadcast on the 2.4GHz band only to prevent connectivity issues.

If you’re not sure how to change the Wi-Fi band on your router, refer to the router’s user manual for guidelines.

Update the App

Intertek smart plug works with the Smart Life app. However, you may experience some undesirable operations if the app is outdated or even the plug’s firmware.

Go to your app store and check if the Smart Life app needs to be updated. If so, get it updated.

Also, check the app to see if your plug has a new firmware version and get it updated.
