Many Tuya-type smart plugs and bulbs use only the 2.4 GHz band. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one name, setup can fail. Turn on 2.4 GHz, move close to the router for pairing, temporarily disable the 5 GHz band or give it a separate name, and make sure the phone is on the same 2.4 GHz network.
Key takeaways
- Many smart devices use only 2.4 GHz.
- Combined band names can break pairing.
- Pair close to the router.
- Phone must be on the same 2.4 GHz network.
