Review: 5 STARS! WIFI MESH NETWORK, ROUTER & SMART HUB (ZWAVE/ZIGBEE) ALL IN ONE!!! - LOVE THIS! Always wanted a smart hub but never bought one. Also wanted a WiFi mesh network & router to combat my crappy WiFi signal to certain devices & areas of my house/outside. This works great & made a night & day difference! Also now I finally have a smart hub!! I can now buy zwave/zigbee devices & im super excited. Great product to kill to birds with one stone! I only purchased the 1 device package for $117, that is said to cover 1500 sq ft & since my house is only 1850 sq ft. It fixed all my issues & WiFi problems with the ONE hub, I didn’t even need all 3! Easy set up/install - follow SmartThings Connect app instructions exactly. Fast delivery & it’s a good quality product material wise. Great price! The SmartThings 3rd generation smart hub is currently at $60-$70 on desertcart as is keep in mind. Highly recommend. 5 STARS!
Review: Highly recommended wifi and smart home hub - I just moved to a new place and was looking for a router and smart home hub products. After reading several reviews and comparing with other products, I have decided to try Smarthings wifi mesh. It has been about 10 days since I started to use this product, and so far experience has been amazing. Installation process is so simple and easy. All I needed to do was install smarthings app and follow the instructions. I love the smart home device connectivity features. I have Schlarge door lock and adding it on smarthings was super simple as well. Now I can control the door lock from remote. Also the wifi coverage area is very good. Previously I've been using Apple router, so I can only compare to that. This definitely have much better coverage, bigger signal strength and faster speed. Previously our master bedroom was getting about half the signal, but now we are getting full signal and the download speed is definitely much faster than before. I highly recommend this router.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is port forwarding supported?  is ddns supported**
A: The units I purchased (Nov. 2018) support port forwarding and uPNP.  They do not support DDNS.  There is no newer firmware, and no USB port.  I'm pretty sure these are the same units being shipped today.

A few things to consider:

These units were designed by Plume and are managed with a special version of the Plume app.   However, you cannot call Plume for support (they will send you to Samsung), and Samsung SmartThings support knows next to nothing about them (as of July 2020).  They will not take Plume firmware updates, because they've been modified for the SmartThings hub functionality, and Samsung has not updated the WiFi software on them since October of 2018 (they have updated the Hub software many times, which happens automatically).

They don't have many other customization features that you would expect from a typical WiFi router, either.  They are very much 'plug and play' devices for people that just want stuff to work, and they do well at that.

If you want more functionality (as I did), you can put them in 'bridge mode', which disables the router, firewall, and DHCP functions, and then did all the fancy stuff with a typical WiFi router and firewall (you could use your old WiFi router with the WiFi disabled); the pods are then strictly for the WiFi part of the setup - set the SSID and password on them, and you are done.  Just don't forget that your cable modem and router/firewall are also potential performance bottlenecks separate from the WiFi.

The basic 'mesh' functionality is automatic, works well, and is seamless.  It will significantly improve coverage in your home without any extra work.  But for the best performance, there is definitely a benefit in running an Ethernet cable to each device back to your router or cable modem (whether in bridge mode or not).  This avoids multiple WiFi hops and reduces WiFi spectrum congestion.  It requires no configuration change, they figure it out among themselves.  If you can do this, there is one other thing that you might find convenient, and that is to run PoE (Power over Ethernet) and get rid of the power supply - nice if you have them stuck on the ceiling.  This is not a function of the pod, but you need a PoE switch or PoE power injectors on one end, and then a PoE adapter to plug in to the pod end (a little split cable thingy converting from Ethernet in to Ethernet out + power out).  That's more than most people will bother with, but it does work.

The 'SmartHub' function will be taken on by the first one plugged in when you originally connect them, and this particular device will remain the hub forever, so if that one is unplugged, one of the others will not take over that job unless you reset them all.

All in all, they have worked well for me (I'm a network and security engineer) with over 50 WiFi devices running, and individual WiFi nodes getting SpeedTest numbers of over 500Mbps down (my base XFinity service is 720 Mbps down,  faster than most WiFi devices). Just don't ask Samsung SmartThings support too many questions (Like a) why does the app always tell me my network is down, when the app is clearly running over it?  Or b) why do they still have 1.5 year old code when I get messages that they have auto-updated regularly?)  Such questions will just confuse them - they really don't know, and they will take 1-2 weeks for them to say that they don't know.

(Answers:  a) because the app doesn't understand bridge mode - I tried it and told them; and b) they only update the hub firmware, not the Plume firmware - support didn't even know there WERE two different pieces of firmware until I gave them the two version #s).

**Q: Ok, so i am dumb- i have a wireless router (not a samsung) am i wrong in thinking that this will work with it? do i need a samsung router?**
A: As long as your router also has an ethernet port. This is to replace your wifi network. For instance, I have a cable modem with two ethernet ports and a wifi network. I disabled the wifi on my cable modem and plugged this Samsung into the ethernet port. Then changed all my devices to attach to the new wifi network provided by this device. I could have probably just used the same SSID for the new network and not require changing any of the other devices but decided to create a new one.

**Q: Can this work without Ethernet wire plugged in, if the main hub has Ethernet wire plugged in itself?**
A: Short answer - Yes. 
Long answer - Yes, but the other unit must be within wifi range of the main hub.  If the second hub is not within range to receive a stronger enough wifi signal then you must wire the second unit as well.   Using wifi and if you use more than two hubs, the second hub can be used as a repeater to provide a strong wifi signal to the third hub.

**Q: is this te 3rd Gen hub?**
A: This hub is not a3rd gen hub. It’s a 2 gen hub. The 3rd gen hub does not hook to your Ethernet on your modem

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended wifi and smart home hub

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice but takes some work. Several Issues.
*by N***K on October 30, 2018*

I love the tech of this system. The biggest problem is that it is a mash up of previous Samsung systems. Again, the tech is good, but the support is problematic. If I search for issues I usually end up with a solution to a previous iteration. While the solutions are similar this new product should have its own distinct support. Its great in that it covers my 4 story house well, but with problems. Most of them having to do with fine details of networking. Most items on your network these days get a network address using DHCP, meaning they are assigned one by the router, but that may be assigned different numbers for various reasons. If you have assigned static IP addresses, from my experience those wont work, so they need to be changed to DHCP. Some devices (IP cameras) I am still having problems with after having changed them to DHCP. They tend to drop off of the network. I have not done all of the homework yet, but I think some devices have a problem with APs sharing SSIDs. The other issue is that there are sensor vendors claiming they work with SmartThings but maybe not this product. I have tried several sensors that won't pair. I have also tried several that pair but disconnect. Smartthings list products that are compatable, such at NEO sensors. Not all NEO sensors are compatible. Nor are all Iris. I think once I understand the sytem more and get it set up it will be great. I get that most professional Security companies would be reluctant to support a system that they did not set up. However, I'm hoping that at some point there can be a 24 x 7 response option. There is the SmartThings ADT hub, but it requires specific sensors that do not have a great reputation. More Later.
