Easy Set up and scalability
we live in a ranch style home which is more long than it is wide (3500 sq ft in all). these smarthings hubs have been god send as the mesh network means not having to input wifi password as you move thru the home with your devices. i also added 2 additional units to the far corners where the connectivity was poor and they networked fine and now i have amazin connectivity with no dead zones. thank you samsung for making networking easy.

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.

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.

Total Home Coverage
This item was purchased a couple of days ago with the intent to provide wifi coverage in areas with spotty performance or dead zones. Once set up, no devices were dropped and picked up the signal without any issues. It was used to hook up streaming devices. It was so easy to hookup. Why did I wait this long? Highly recommended.

Upgraded existing router
I replaced a netgear router with this system. I was able to place two hubs in the house and a separate one in my garage. I no longer have dead spots. My wifi works as it should. I'm happy with my purchase. I bought these for the flexibility of building my smart home. I have several Samsung products and have been happy with the simplicity in how they operate. I connected each of my hubs to an ethernet cable to improve the backhaul connection it works well this way the main hub is connected to a ethernet switch and the other two come off this switch allowing me to place the hubs further apart. Increased my wifi signal.

Finally Peace of Mind
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a long stay away from home due to family illness. I was so nervous as this would be the first time leaving my absentminded professor home alone. But this 3 pack ran my house like a well oil machine. I had easy access to all my lights, thermostat, door locks, even security camera. Best Peace of Mind

Amplifies wi-if and more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using Samsung wi-if 3 pack for couple of weeks now and love it! Our house is two level and upstairs the wi-fi signal was bad. This one amplifies wi-fi connection super well. The set up was a breeze. I also synchronized security camera and thermostat. Works great. Highly recommend it

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.

Get connected!!!
[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

Mesh WiFi for the win!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had so many dead zones in our house and dropped WiFi calls. I was going crazy! I bought these Smart Things and it completely solved my problem! Now we have great signal all throughout our house and no more dropped calls or slow connection. Everyone should buy these and replace their extenders with them. Those extenders hardly worked. Also worth it to get the 3 pack for it to maximize.

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.

Great product, easy set up
I purchased this as a hub between my Echo and smart locks. It works great. It was literally plug and play. I intend to use it as a hub for all of my smart home items. At least until I can convince my wife to buy the new Galaxy Home.

CONNECT HOME 3 PACK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello,
I sent an email at the beginning of the campaign that I already had the product placed in my home (my husband installed and I didn't know). So I didn't actively participate in the campaign. I just completed my end of campaign survey because I didn't know when it was ending. I do love the system, it makes using the internet sooooo much faster and smoother in our 3 story house. Please send the return labels so I can return the system. Thank you very much!

A Mesh Network System for Better Wi-Fi Signal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our lot is home to 2 houses - one large 3 bedroom, 3 bath home that's about 2300 square feet, and a 1 bedroom, 1 bath casita. The 2 are about 20 feet apart at their closest and this has presented some problems with network connectivity. We use cable broadband 100Mb/s service and we are frequent streamers with Netflix, Prime, KODI, and On-Demand used daily. Our existing router, being located about dead center of our homes, still would only give 3-4 bars of signal to roughly half of our devices.
We decided to invest in Samsung's Connect Home System which comes with 3 hubs. I connected the main one via Cat 6 cable to our ASUS router and located it as high in the room as possible. I installed the second hub inside the casita and then the third hub installed in a bedroom of the large house, farthest from the room where our service is located. Installation of this system involved downloading an app to my smartphone, which detected each hub as I installed them. This process was very easy and required no networking skill. Start to finish it took me about 20 minutes to install all 3 hubs. I tested the system at many different spots in both houses, using multiple devices at each spot. The signal was maxed at 5 bars no matter the device or location, including our front and back yards. We have been using this system now for about 3 weeks and it has functioned flawlessly for us, even when relatives visited.
I am quite pleased with the System and it works very well for us, needing no maintenance or attention. I feel that the price of the system is worth having max signal across our lot and a network that needs no maintenance.

Product has it all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cant believe all that this can do. Full WiFi control with smart home all in one. I got the 3 unit setup and cant be happier. One of my big concerns going with something is will it be able to reach my garage which for my house layout is far. well with the 3 units its was not a problem. I have WiFi and Smart control in my garage with no issues. The Samsung Connect and Smart Things apps made the setup very easy along with provides great functionality.

Wi-Fi for Family Life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a family of 4 who always seem to be connected to the internet (for everything), this Wi-Fi extender makes our lives so much easier. The set up took all of 10 minutes and we were getting our house and our gadgets connected. All 4 of us have tablets and smartphones that are connected as well as multiple gaming systems and desktops, this extender made it easier and faster than ever to keep everyone up and running at all times. We were even able to extend out to our second garage! That makes my workouts so much easier because I can distract myself with a video, lol. I love this product and highly suggest it for other connected families.

Smart home hub comes with the best WiFi coverage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up these decent looking 3 routers was relatively quick and easy with the app downloaded from Play Store.
I have purchased almost most of the WiFi router that has come out over the past 5 years from numerous manufacturers and am now so happy that they got it right. The "mesh networking" allows me to receive WiFi signal all over my >4,000 ft² home.
Now, the best part was that it had SmartThings Smart home hub function built in!!!
I had a few connected gadgets installed here and there throughout my place over the years, like Philips Hue light bulbs, security cameras, Ring door bell and z wave door locks. Those are now ALL! connected to one of this router hub and are all shown up in a single app called Samsung connect. That was cool. I was able to install these without manual instructions.
Now, with the new software update, it now supports additional advanced WiFi configuration settings! and I can notice more stable network with increased throughput.
Also Samsung Connect app seems to have more features, too.
Fast and reliable speed
This small router is fast and has reliable speed.2.4 and 5 GHZ besides 4x4 MU-MIMO makes internet fast and stable. The fact of having smart devices connected through one router and is crucial, I got my Arlo security cameras connected to this hub and performed well with zero issues. I recommend it for people lookin for a router and hub for smart devices as well. smartphone app is easy to navigate and setup the router.

My family loves it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before getting the Samsung connect home, our wi-fi would often drop. After using the Samsung connect home, we never have to worry about losing Wi-Fi connection at all. Plus, now we have the option to turn our home into a smart home. We have an Amazon echo dot which also works along with the Samsung connect home. We just give Alexa the instruction And it can control anything that is connected through wi-fi.

More than I anticipated and better than I expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Samsung house looking to go more “Smart” this set has been a godsend. I wasn’t aware when I go it that it was also a Smart Things hub, so I saved in not having to buy that as a separate device.
We just built our 2600 sq ft home and were very excited to get all our “smart” devices going. We found that they all wanted to be driven by different hubs and that our connection speeds were dropping greatly on the edges of the house and upstairs.
This was easy to unpack, easy to install (my Galaxy S7 edge, already had the app installed) and getting it connected and providing the best coverage was a snap!
If you are going “Smart” at home or need better wireless coverage at home this Home Mesh set is just the thing you need to get going.

Samsung Connect Home 3 pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very simply packaged and all setup is done via the mobile app Samsung Connect. You must first download the app. Then open the app and add the Samsung Connect Home to your internet modem. There is a quick start guide for you in the box with the hubs. The directions are easy to follow. The mobile app automatically detected each hub once it was plugged in and configuration to my network name and password were very easy. I do not have many smart home devices set up currently, but the few I do, were easily added through the integrated smartthings hub.
The Samsung Connect Home 3 pack has given me much better range than I had. I was hoping to be able to use the Samsung Connect Home outside, and it's working great! I spend a lot of mornings on my back patio. I've had many devices hooked up to my modem before, and would have problems. Now I can add several devices without some being kicked off. So far so good. I really like the design, they're small, and very unobtrusive. They can be easily hidden from view. There is an LED light, but it's not overwhelming. I now have much more flexibility through my home when it comes to connectivity and reliability. I have a strong signal through my home for streaming and typical browsing. My home is approx. 3000 sq ft. I would absolutely recommend this product to mid/large size home owners who are not happy with their current modem and do not want to deal with a wifi extender which puts out a separate signal. Overall the Samsung Connect Home has a clean design, is easy to install/use, and performs spectacular!!

I don't believe it was that easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was too easy to set this up.
I'm a geek. I like instruction manuals and tweaking a new device to max out its potential. The app that guides you to set this up does all the work. OK, you have to plug the power and data cords in order but that's it. The was the expected period of updates, then everything clicked - first the hub then the two slave units. This replaces my 5 year old WiFi network in my 4br 2ba house and I have not heard a simple complaint of slow wireless connectivity. Not till i saw this app running did i know that there are 23 WiFi devices in my house. Now I can manage them all! 7 devices didn't even need to be on the network! I was toying with the idea of using a powerline adapter to feed the 2 slave units a Ethernet connection but the new WiFi is moving so fast I couldn't be happier. I believe the mesh multi-node system might be a better solution than a traditional wireless router and extenders - which is what i used to have. It still runs - I am relegating that to low-use IoT devices maybe house guests i don't like sticking around!

Samsung Never Fails
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Home Mesh 3 pack have solved my problems, no more buffering or dead spots. I finally have Wi-Fi that extends through my whole house with faster speed. The setup was very easy with my Samsung Galaxy 8. The routers are very compact and easy to hide.

Connect Home 3 Pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I would like to say thank you for allowing me to test your new Samsung Connect Home 3-pack Smart Wi-Fi System. Upon unpacking the system, I was immediately impressed. The system has a very sleek design, no antennas, one power cord, one power port, and only two Ethernet ports. One Ethernet port is marked (IN) and the other marked (OUT).
It was almost as simply as: Plug the hubs in, connect them to your existing modem, and then connect the Samsung Connect system via the mobile app from the apple store or google play store to your home network. But I did say almost. The installation of the Samsung Connect system was very simply, but the app was somewhat difficult. There were no clear instructions how to navigate the app in order to connect the second and third hubs as extenders instead of hubs. But once connected the Samsung Connect system worked perfectly.
My home has a ton of mobile devices, tablets, and PC's. I must stay the Samsung Connect system took on the task with ease. The system allows you to connect anything that is compatible with the Samsung Connect system such as your home security system, lighting, security camera, televisions, heating / cooling system, and many more. I have to purchase additional SmartThings plugs to connect more items in my home.
I am extremely impressed at the coverage of the Samsung Connect Wi-Fi system. I placed a hub on each level of my home and we haven't had one lag in the signal since connecting them. With the mobile app, I can see what devices are connected and monitor the data on the system. I haven’t unlocked every feature of the Samsung Connect system yet, but I am looking forward to trying.
More to come....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Connect Home Smart Wi-Fi System - 3 pack is a very simple device to set up and run it basically does all the work for you as you just hook the home device to your modem and it will find the other two devices and make connections with them setting up. Not only does it deliver an optimized WI-Fi signal to every corner of your home, it also works as a Smart Things Hub, connecting compatible cameras, lights, voice assistants, and more to create your smart home.
