There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have all of my Samsung TVs, 5 GE Zwave switches, and two GE zwave outlets hooked up to this and I’ve never had any major issues with it. I’m glad I was able to return the wink and get this for my dad. I don’t have to be embarrassed that I accidentally bought him an inferior piece of garbage for his gift any longer.
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.
No worries because I had ordered this unit. First an ethernet cable connection to the Spectrum cable modem, then Samsung device easily installed as a WiFi Router, following enclosed directions.
Getting the Z-Wave function going took a bit of trial and error. I use Smartthings and their app listed the new WiFi router as a device. Had to play around with that device in the app to locate and get the Z-wave function going.
At our main residence, I use Samsung's gen 3 hub and am generally satisfied. This new hub at the condo seems to have even fewer hiccups when including/excluding devices. May, also, just be the substantially smaller square footage of the condo.
Been running for a month, now, with no need for even a reboot.
P.S. Samsung Smartthings app's ability to allow user to independently manage separate locations on the same app also works really well.
