SmartThings Wi-Fi uses multiple access points to create a fast, secure, and stable Wi-Fi network for every inch of your home.

This pack of 3 mesh routers covers spacious homes up to 4,500 sq. feet. For expandable coverage, you can simply add up to 32 hubs. Unlike traditional routers, the SmartThings Wi-Fi mesh network has the ability to use a combination of different channels and bands for each data hop, taking your connection through the fastest route while eliminating interference, congestion, and buffering. SmartThings Wi-Fi is simple to install and easy to use. Personalize who gets on your Wi-Fi network, for how long, and what they can do, through the parental controls feature. Measure your network’s speed, create schedules for which devices can access the internet and when, and much more. Plus, SmartThings Wi-Fi updates automatically.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018Background: I have a fiber optic line at home that was previously running through Google Wifi routers and a SmartThings standalone v2 hub. Most of my devices are wifi (Leviton and Lifx), with a few GE z-wave switches and an August Smart Lock (z-wave plus). 2 Alexa dots for voice control.
Pros: Setup x2
The SmartThings Connect felt more straightforward to setup and connect vs the Google Wifi. Each node was recognized on the first time and I was able to position them throughout the 2 story house for maximum coverage and access to the smart devices on opposite ends of the house. You do have to download the Plume app to maximize the information and setup process, but that's not necessary to get the ball rolling though.
Setup is honestly the hardest part with all the different individual pieces I've done. I tried different ways to make it all work together and so far this has been the most straightforward and all encompassing. Tweaking all of the settings and schedules will happen in time, but being able to get it running in one evening was critical.
Pros: Apps.
The ability to access all the devices and the majority of their settings was important to allow my wife to have a simplified solution. I had no issue integrating all of the other items with the exception of the August lock.
Neutral: August Lock compatibility
So this isn't related to the hub as much as the app. The newer app doesn't support the August lock which I didn't realize beforehand. I had to go back and install it in the classic app. I am hoping for additional support for the August lock.
Cons: Migration
This probably won't apply to everyone but going from a v2 hub to a the integrated router/hub solution had it's issues. I had to run ST Classic app, ST app, and troubleshoot the devices. Once I figured out the process on one, it was a lot easier for the other ones. I had two hubs on the app at one time and could only delete the old hub off of the browser version of ST (not through the hubs).
Overall: I think it's a great hub. The setup was a lot (a lot a lot) easier than Google Wifi and even the ST v2 hub (surprisingly). Overall functionality compared to Google wifi seems similar, as well as peak speeds. I'll fine-tune the settings soon to see if I can improve. The key to this was ease of use and reducing the amount of control items i have to deal with as my previous setup failed intermittently. I haven't seen that with the Samsung router/hub in the past week at all. Happy smart home user here!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018SmartThings mesh wifi is a true excellent solution if you have a multi-level dwelling and Wi-Fi coverage issues. I have a 4000 square foot home in Chicago northern suburbs and I am also smartThings user and have about 30 smart home sensors and gadgets on my home network. I have used many types of router devices in my home to improve wifi coverage. Apple Airport, Netgear Nighthawk X8, multiple router types, extenders, booster etc. SmartThings Wifi was the PERFECT choice for me.
Since I have been using SmartThings Hub and sensors for three years, I was very interested in new SmartThings products - Wifi and new sensor. I bought SmartThings wifi 3pack first and reviewed carefully all materials and websites. Based upon my research that I've done, SmartThings wifi uses AI based mesh wifi. It adapts to home Wi-Fi in real time and deliver upgraded Wi-Fi performance every day. I realized that SmartThings wifi uses Plume's Adaptive Wi-Fi technology and Plume is a company for Wi-Fi mesh specialty that they provided solution to Comcast and Samsung and received investment from them too. Its technology is very interesting!!!. They said that SmartThings wifi learns Wi-Fi needs and optimizes bands and channels for the best Wifi performance. It is AMAZING mesh technology with traffic balancing, as well as management radio resources. I believe it is a groundbreaking Wi-Fi technology!!!
Setting up SmartThings Wifi was so simple and clear, SmartThings app automatically detected smartthings wifi and I just did click. For advanced Wifi settings. I downloaded Plume app and it showed how many Wi-Fi devices were connected on each router and band & channel I've been using. Graphic looked like solar systems and it was very interesting app. As time goes on, the channel and band changed. It seems SmartThings wifi takes advantage of uncongested Wi-Fi frequencies based on AI algorithm. I will post details again.
I'd recommend this for people struggling with weak Wi-Fi signal, people who want to get the fast internet and people who use smart home devices like sensors, thermostat and Arlo camera. I bought three pack but a single SmartThings wifi is great as a router with a modem rather than using the gateway the internet provider rents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Wifi Mesh Network
Been using this for a month now, really easy to install, great connectivity, had no issue with it. I have 1Gb internet and depending where I'm in the house (3 stories and 4500 sqft house) , I would get from 120mb to 630mb which is more than enough for me. The Smarthings hub is great and looking forward to do more automation with it. Smartthings V3 still doesn't support some devices (e.g. tuya/smart life/globe suite), but it's getting there. Overall great product for a great price. The plume app is also easy to use and have good features (limiting internet, guest internet, accesses, etc)

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buena cobertura, funciones muy limitadas
Vivo en departamento y tal vez mesh wifi es un exceso, pero con tanta interferencia no había manera de cubrir toda el área con un solo punto por lo que opté por este mesh para reemplazar mi router y mi hub Smartthings.
La cobertura y velocidad es increíble, cubre perfectamente todos los lugares y me da más de 80mbps en todos lados por lo que pude eliminar muchos cables de red que tenía en mi centro de entretenimiento.
El único punto que le resto es que Plume es muy limitado, además de que no está disponible en México y tuve que usar una cuenta americana.
Con Plume puedes configurar modo Bridge o modo Router, pero las opciones son muy limitadas comparadas con el router dedicado TP-Link que ya tenía por lo que opté por dejarlo en modo Bridge.
En modo router no pude hacer funcionar UPnP, para poder abrir un puerto debes hacer una reservación de IP primero y agregas puertos de manera individual, muy tedioso.
La recopilación de consumo de datos me gustó, pero no recopila datos de dispositivos que estén conectados por Ethernet, solo via wifi por lo que es limitado si quieres ver el consumo de estos dispositivos.
El bloqueo de publicidad es muy útil, pero por desgracia está ligado a TODOS los dispositivos de una persona y esto en un par de ocasiones me causó problemas en algunas páginas.
El hub de Smartthings funciona de maravilla, por lo que si tienes algo de automatización puedo recomendar este mesh sin problema. Pero si requieres funciones más avanzadas debes usarlo con un router adicional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple install, great coverage
Brought this wifi mesh system to replace my old wireless routers and powerline adapters that I used to extend coverage in the house. The Samsung SmartThings mesh system (3-pack) is very easy to install and I was replaced my old hardware within minutes and switched all devices and connections without any disruption or issues. The 3-pack provided enough range to cover indoor and outdoor devices. The Plume app that connects to these devices is also very helpful to analyze network performance, website access controls and guest network setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy recomendable
Excelente calidad del producto. Simplemente conectar el primero se nota la diferencia de la calidad en la señal al concluir la red todos los rincones de la casa tienen excelente señal. La aplicación Plume otorga muchas opciones adicionales y permite monitorear el uso de la red. Los balanceos son muy buenos ya no hay deficiencias en el uso no aglomeraciones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware the single SSID used for both WiFi ranges
This mesh has addressed some needs and overall is working well however please note that some legacy devices refuse to connect as there is only a single SSID used for both the 2.5 GHz and 5 Ghz frequencies. I even tried walking away from my house to try and get out of the range of the 5Ghs but that still didn't work. Samsung does not offer anyway to turn off this "feature".
I am also disappointed at the lack of access to configuration of the device other than what the Plume app offers. My previous Linksys and other routers were way more friendly and capable in that respect.
On the plus size, the 3 hubs allowed me to cover my 2 story w/ basement home as well as a detached garage with RING units in the alley, garage front and front door. It solved that connectivity issue that my old router couldn't.
