thgoebel txs for the hint. I indeed missed to mention... I always doublecheck if the Shelly did connect to WiFi or not - no matter what the screen is telling me - it did not connect.
For checking I try a simple ping first, then Quickscan App on Android which usually is good enough. If devices can't be reached/seen they are not connected.
For tough cases I check my Network Monitor NTOPNG and wireshark. But this Shelly Plug simply doesn't work.

Hi,

meanwhile I am operating quite a bunch of shelly products. So far I have been happy with cost, ease of use and performance of the products, except the Plug S.

When five months old, one of the Plug S suddenly did't work anymore, simply went off, no more LEDs - over and out. No reset possible.
Fortunately the dealership replayed it w/o any discussion.

Today after nineteen months the second Plug S stopped working. I.e. suddenly no longer reachable, dropped off the WIFI network. Device was neither stressed not in a harsh environment.
Max load ever 600W, inside building, 15ft distance to router.
Firmware ist the latest 20230913-113421/v1.14.0-gcb84623

So at first I did a factory reset which worked partially, some of my settings were still there, some were factory reset - strange.
After Reset device provided WiFi AP
I logged in 192.168.33.1 and tried switching on/off as a simple connection test. Worked right away.
Then I tried to include teh Plug S into my local WiFi (I don't use cloud at all) so I entered the credentials of my WiFi network.
When I hit the save button it took a while until I got an error message "Could not change settings: device could not be reached".
From this point onwards the device is neither accessible in the WiFi network, nor does it provide its own AP to log on.

I then can do this reset and trying to save WiFi credentials again and agan, doesn't help. (...and - YES the credentials are the correct ones)

Anything else I can do ?

No longer really pleased with the quality of Plug S :o(. Two out of three failed.
