Review on πŸ”Œ Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303: 3 Individually Controlled Outlets, 2 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home - No Hub, White by Ethan Delaney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Slightly disappointing

I bought this to replace another smart power strip I have because whenever my wi-fi disconnects the schedules I set up stop working. When this happens, I have to go through the extender setup process over and over again. Kasa, on the other hand, has a better interface, the ability to keep track of working hours, and more importantly, it doesn't forget my set schedules even when I'm not connected to WiFi. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because the Kasa power strip loves to reboot all the time. myself when connected to my Wi-Fi network. I have found that the problem is most likely due to a congested/unstable Wi-Fi network. When I changed channels and disconnected some of my other devices from my 2.4GHz WiFi network, the extender worked better. The problem still appeared, but much less frequently. An easy way to avoid this problem is to turn off Wi-Fi after creating a schedule, but then half of the device's functionality disappears, which is not ideal. It surprises me that my cheaper unbranded smart power strip can still work with all its issues. maintain a WiFi connection despite an unstable network while the more expensive Kasa has to restart. I hope they fix this issue because it doesn't inspire much trust in the brand.
