Constantly Disconnects
on October 18, 2020
Posted by: Crod
i want to start by saying i own everything samsung. i have 3 of this wifi routers, but man sre they bad. they don't work well, you'll signal strength deteriorates from just being 20 feet apart. i have 1gb internet, and the max i have ever gotten from this routers is 140mb. if you have a device connected using the ethernet cable, then you'll get closer to your internet speed. very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible Product and Service
on May 20, 2024

Terrible product. Dropped signal frequently. Died on me after 4.5 years. Full hardware failure on all 3 Hubs on the same night. Reached out to Samsung for support but they wouldn't help for warranty or even provide a quote for repair.
I could have purchased any mesh wifi product and I trusted Samsung. Big mistake.

Great way to expand WiFi throughout the house.

I needed a solution that not only expanded my WiFi coverage throughout my home, but added Samsung SmartThings support to integrate smart switches, dimmers, hue lights and alarm system. Installation was quick and straight forward, and I could quickly see a performance increase across my devices. Internet access on iPads, Roku, and laptops are smooth with no lag. Very satisfied. I would have loved if the ethernet ports supported POE to avoid the need for the separate power adapters, but overall a great product.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I had fun setting this up. I learned a lot and still learning too. I can’t wait to get everything available connected. We had spots in our house where the wifi had weaker signal and this helped pull it in. We even get wi-fi in the garage now. Who knew all that this hub would work do well. The different items I own were easy to connect to the hub easily. I love that I can use my phone and monitor things, it makes it very easy
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent signal strength

I switched my Google WiFi for these to add the hub function with minimum hardware. The hub works great and haven't had any issues at all. I was expecting a decreased WiFi signal and I was pleasantly surprised to see a stronger signal throughout my house. I wish you can control all of the functions of the router with one app but I'm satisfied that you can control the advanced features even if it takes two apps. For basic functionality, the SmartThings app works fine. I highly recommend.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Over a year in use...no issues

I have had this hub and wifi setup and running for over a year now. Super easy to setup with a Samsung Galaxy phone...I can't speak to how it is with anything else, but it took 20 minutes or less to unbox and have it running. I have since added numerous smart home devices as well. Having the smart home devices on a different protocol is great to avoid any interference. I have a 2000 sqft house and I only run into a connection issue at the farthest points away from the hub. This will be fixed with a second hub. With the two hubs, I will have signal throughout my whole house and on much of my 1/3 acre lot.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

The future for homes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung always seems to outdo themselves. This company is my go t most of the time. These were such a great addition to the home. It was pretty simple to set up. Which is always nice since some people have issues with that kind of thing. I would highly recommend. This works well with just about any smart item for the home. So far I am impressed with the set up.
Pros: Lightweight, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!
