TP-Link Kasa Smart Plugs and XG

Hi,

 

I run TP-Link Kasa Smart Plugs in my house. I have noticed that when trying to control remotely, they grey out on either iOS or Android. If I connect to the local network, the plug displays "Local Only". According to TP-Link this message indicates that remote access is not enabled on the plug but when I look into the settings it is.

 

TP-Link doesn't give much assistance with their devices but I found a website which says that the plugs use Ports:

  • 80 TCP
  • 9999 TCP
  • 1040 UDP

So I reserved their IP's and created two new firewall rule as follows:

Group: Smart Switches

Firewall 29: Kasa Services

Source Zones: LAN

Source Networks and devices: "My two devices"

Destination Zones: WAN

Destination Networks: Any

Services: Kasa Ports which is a port group TCP Source: 1:65535 > 80 | TCP Source: 1:65535 > 9999 | UDP Source: 1:65535 > 1040

No Scan HTTP, HTTPS, Block Google, Scan FTP

No IPS, Traffic Shaping, Web Policy, App Control

Firewall 30: Smart Switches

Source Zones: LAN

Source Networks and devices: "My two devices"

Destination Zones: WAN

Destination Networks: Any

Services: Any

No Scan HTTP, HTTPS, Block Google, Scan FTP

No IPS, Traffic Shaping, App Control

Web Policy: All All

 

I can see traffic going out as "Allowed" in logging and all looks fine from the XG side, but the switches are still inaccessible.

Why I think it's the XG... If I remove the XG from my network and plug in my D-Link DIR850L Router, I can access the smart switches remotely with no problem.

 

Thank you in advance.

  • Hi,

     as suggested way of finding out what ports the devices use is to create firewall rule at the top for your devices with an any service then check the logs to see which ports are actually used.
