Which router?
Depending on the answer, split the WiFi bands, or switch off the 6
ghz band until they connect.

@howardl How far do you get, and which Hub do you have? I'm not familiar with smart plugs, but have seen it suggested that if you temporarily turn off the 5Ghz band while connecting some of these, they connect. Don't forget to re-enable the 5Ghz band afterwards.

That is a Hub Two
You need to login into the Hub http://192.168.1.254
Bottom right click on Advanced Settings >Wireless. you will be prompted for the admin password, this is found on the removable card. Turn off the 5GHz and save change.

Ah, so a Hub2 then. Not familiar with them, but maybe @Baldrick1 could help?
Dan beat me to it.
Just to add - don't forget to re-enable the 5Ghz once you get sorted.

Do you get this message on all devices, or just one? If so, which one?
