Complete Coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Connect Home Mesh 3 pack was simple to set up, and provided great coverage. I was able to set up this system in under 10 minutes, placing 2 units on the 2nd floor and 1 unit on the 1st floor of a 3000 sq ft house. This setup allowed me to receive a strong wifi signal across my entire .5 acre property. I would absolutely recommend this product to mid - large size home owners who are currently not happy with their current router and do not want to deal with a wifi extender that puts out a separate signal. Overall clean design, easy to install/use, and performs spectacular.

Expands WiFi Signal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in the boonies, the mountains of northeastern WV. We have to have a dish to get internet or TV reception. It was so frustrating having moved here from the city. I had to go outside in the driveway to make a phone call. WiFi was limited to the end of the couch or in the room where the modem and router are located. I live in a small cabin, probably less than 800 square feet. Well, I purchased the Samsung Connect Home Smart WiFi System, the 3 pack. I had doubts, but it was not substantiated. This system is by far the best and smartest purchase ever. I am excited! I am not chained to the corner of the couch any longer. I have WiFi EVERYWHERE! And I have just one hooked up. I can access the internet from anywhere in the house including the basement. I will probably give one to my daughter. And Connect the other one, not that it's needed but just to satisfy my curiosity. I have tried the WiFi extender, turned out to be a huge waste of money. I cannot express how happy I am with the system.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the Home- pro for a few weeks now . I have a large detached three car garage - work shop and have not had WiFi service out there until I installed the Home- pro 3 . I am very pleased as I always need instructions , schematics , drawings and parts . Now I can stay in my work shop and get the information I am looking for without having to go inside the house . I also have no issues throughout my house when I use to loose WiFi in certain areas . I think this is a great product and is very reliable . Thumbs up for the Home- pro 3

Loving my Connect Home Mesh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW, Samsung knocked it out of the park again! The units itself has a small footprint, no antennas which were an eyesore, setup is a breeze through the phone app, and with built-in SmartThings, The Connect Home Mesh 3pack is a winner.
The beauty about the Samsung mesh connect is the ability to plug one Ethernet device on each of the hubs. This means you can plug your gaming console, desktop, etc. from any room, as well as increase coverage. I live in a 3 story home and I’ve placed a hub in each floor. Coverage is great and not a hiccup with speed or drops. I have all of my smart devices connected to this, 3 nest cameras, ring doorbell, etc., and I haven’t lost connectivity.
Setup is done through The Samsung Connect app. The app is so intuitive, you don't have to be a techie to get these going. Under MY DEVICES, it'll list all devices paired to your phone, and most importantly under HOME, are the Mesh Wi-Fi hubs. From there you able to see if the hubs are connected, rename them, see how many devices are on the network and restrict usage or assign highest bandwidth priority. Through the app, you can create guest access by creating new "guest" networks, monitor network traffic, as well as reboot individual hubs. All this can be done remotely as long as you have internet access on your phone.
SmartThings is the second part of this amazing device. As a SmartThings Hub v2 owner, transitioning to the built-in SmartThings in Connect Home was straightforward for connecting my sensors and outlets. The best part was being able to remove the old hub as well as the app since the Home Connect app handles the administration for everything.

Small yet Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The installation of the mesh was as simple as it could possibly get. Once opened, the devices were plugged into the Ethernet and control power. Within a few minutes my phones had recognized the new device and it was ready to be configured.
I was able to replace 3 wifi routers that have been used to give adequate coverage, although still not consistent speeds. After connecting the Samsung Home mesh, I can roam anywhere around the home and outside without having to worry about any loss in in speed or coverage. I would say about a 35% increase in speed/coverage with just a few minutes setup.
As for the Smart Things Hub, I have not began to set this up as of yet, but I am having a good feeling about it from others that have the hub.
One thing I do miss I the ability to manually configure to adjust (not that is needed). Also a good enhancement would be to allow an internal name for each device so that you would know which one you were looking at in the Samsung Smart Things app.
All I can say is my network has been missing something like this.

Hello Simple, Goodbye WiFi dead-spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using the app on my phone to set this up, all 2700+ sq ft of my house had great wifi coverage in less than 10 minutes. I like that I was able to setup a separate Guest network, and that I can see current network usage via the app. Haven't had to reboot any of the AP's since installing them over a month ago - this was "routine maintenance" with my last access point solution. Overall very pleased with the functionality and also the way it integrates with the other Samsung Connect offerings

Great Router with huge range

from Tripoli
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I swapped out my old router for the Connect Home system. I was able to expand my wifi range and have added security. It connects and pairs easily to my devices. I am able to connect numerous smart devices almost instantly and control them with the Samsung App. This is a huge expansion on general routers!
