QA

Q1: When the mobile phone time zone changes, does the scheduled or Automation runtime of devices such as smart plugs, light bulbs, and switches change?

A1: The runtime for schedules or other related functions is determined by the device's own time zone. Kasa devices do not support individual device time zone settings, and their time zone is automatically synchronized with your Kasa app's time zone.

Therefore, the runtime, such as the schedule, will not change if your phone's time zone is modified.

If you want to change a device's time zone, see How to Adjust Time Setting in the Kasa APP.

Q2: If an automation includes multiple devices, which device's time zone will it use for operation?

A2: If the automation includes more than one device, the runtime will be based on the time zone of the first device in the automation. If no devices are included in the automation, the runtime will be based on the phone's time zone.

Ваш серийный номер TP-Link (S/N) — это уникальный идентификатор, нанесенный на каждое устройство TP-Link. Он может потребоваться вам для регистрации продукта, гарантийных случаев или запросов на возврат RMA. Знание того, как проверить SN TP-Link, может быть полезным. Серийные номера TP-Link состоят из 11, 12 или 13 шестнадцатеричных цифр. Есть два места, где можно найти и проверить серийный номер: на коробке продукта или на этикетке, прикрепленной к самому устройству.

Основные выводы

 

Каждое устройство TP-Link имеет уникальный серийный номер (S/N), который требуется при регистрации на веб-сайте или при подаче заявки на получение номера заявки RMA. Серийные номера TP-Link состоят из 11, 12 или 13 шестнадцатеричных цифр.

Эта статья поможет вам найти серийный номер вашего устройства TP-Link.

Где найти серийный номер TP-Link

Метод 1: Посмотрите на коробке

Вы можете найти серийный номер на коробке устройства.

В качестве примера возьмем Tapo RV20:

\"SN

Примечание: Для некоторых продуктов, таких как умные лампочки (например, LB xxx), антенны, некоторые мини-маршрутизаторы (например, TL-WR702N) или некоторые беспроводные адаптеры (например, Archer T1U, Archer T2U, Archer T2U Plus, Archer T3U, Archer T3U Plus, Archer T4U V1&V2, TL-WN723N, TL-WN725N, TL-WN823N и т.д.), на самом устройстве нет этикетки.

Метод 2: Посмотрите на этикетке устройства

Вы можете найти серийный номер на этикетке устройства.

Для большинства продуктов переверните устройство, чтобы найти этикетку на обратной стороне. Обычно она обозначена как «S/N:» или помечена как «Serial Number».

В качестве примера возьмем Deco:

" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How to Find the Hardware Version on Your TP-Link Device", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "

Knowing your TP-Link hardware version is important before downloading firmware, drivers, or contacting support. It tells you exactly which version of the product you have, so you can make sure you're getting the right files. There are three ways to find the TP-Link hardware version: checking the product label, reading the engraved text on the device body, or looking it up in the web management interface.

Key Takeaways

Method 1: Check the Product Label

For most TP-Link devices, including routers, range extenders, Deco units, and adapters, the hardware version is printed on a label on the bottom or back of the device. Look for text that reads "Ver:" or simply "V" followed by a number, such as "Ver: 2.0" or "V2." This information is typically located near the model number and serial number on the same label.

You may also find the product’s firmware region and serial number on the label.

\"A

If you need help locating your model number on the label, see how to find the model number of your TP-Link device.

Method 2: Read the Engraved Text (USB Adapters)

Some TP-Link USB adapters do not have a printed label. For these products, the hardware version is engraved directly on the adapter body. Check the surface of the adapter for "Ver:" or "V" followed by a version number.

Method 3: Use the Web Management Interface

If you have a TP-Link device with an admin panel, you can look up the hardware version without physically checking the device. Log in to your device's web management page and navigate to a section such as Status or System Info. The hardware version will be listed there alongside other device details.

If you prefer using your phone, the TP-Link Tether app and the Deco app both offer a way to view device information without opening a browser. Check the device details section within the relevant app.

Why the Hardware Version Matters

TP-Link products can go through multiple hardware revisions over time. For example, a model may have a V1, V2, and V3 version, each with different firmware requirements. Downloading firmware or drivers meant for a different hardware version can cause compatibility issues. Always confirm your TP-Link hardware version before visiting the Download Center to find the right files for your device.

If you need to upgrade your router firmware after confirming your hardware version, see how to upgrade the firmware on TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers. For range extenders, see how to upgrade firmware on a TP-Link range extender.
