The Samsung Connect Home Pro is a great combination wifi router and Smartthings Hub. You are able to manage both within the all-in-one mobile application, making it easy to access and use.
The Connect Home Pro is no larger than a teacup saucer in area, and all antennas are tucked within the device..., leaving for a clean footprint. There are minimal cables, 1 power cable, 1 ethernet in and 1 ethernet out. I was able to get strong signal within a brick building approx 1100 sq. ft without issue. You're easily able to connect additional units to extend the range.
The Smartthings hub lets you easily connect and manage z-wave and smartthings compatible devices around the home. I was quickly able to connect and setup several z-wave lights and switches, as well as set up motion triggers and timed sequences. Having this functionality accessible through the mobile application is really convenient for turning devices on and off on the fly.
Overall the Connect Home Pro is a great combination of wifi router and home automation hub.

Stick with a traditional router
This router has all kinds of potential but falls FLAT on it's face in the real world. I bought the Pro thinking it would offer more features and be somewhat customizable compared to the regular model. No way, can't change a dang thing on here. Want to do any kind of static IP or port forwarding ... ...guess again. Want to log into the router from your PC or Mac? Can't do that either. The couple of times that it has been hooked correctly, it was very quick. Then by by quick hello crash .... Samsung could do so much with this little guy if they would give us some of the control.

Every so often samsung hubs drop devices and need to be re-added or even completely setup again.

Originally was pleased with connectivity and ease of setup. I'm running 2 connect home pros, 1 primary, 1 "mesh"/repeater. Recently having issues with signal strength of 2.4Ghz network for devices within 15' of primary. Normally I'd review the router dashboard and try to troubleshoot but the 'easy' nature of these devices means no advanced settings or data to review. My guess is that a recent firmware altered the settings to optimize for 5G, but that is hurting my 2.4G RSSI.

Upgraded the unit from a basic to a pro to try to take advantage of more mem and better processor. I was working great for many months on the basic unit. It seemed like as I added more devices it started to show disconnected in the app even though everything seemed to be working. Tried a full reset on the 3 units, full reprogram, removing and reinstalling the app itself. Nothing fixed it. It will connect for a while and disco for a while. I have also tried both the original and the new app. Any ideas why that would happen?

These are basic security features a wifi AP would provide. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the Connect Home Pros I have. I hope Samsung can release new firmware that adds the aforementioned functionality and updated smarthings app that supports them.

I live in a rural area and wanted to see if this would improve my internet coverage in the house. It seemed to help, but I had to switch to another internet provider that doesn't support this product. It was easy to install and set-up and I was able to control it from my phone, which was a plus.

The Samsung Connect Home Pro works. What surprised me the most is that it was very easy to follow. This is a wonderful product for folks who loved to have everything with their devices synchronized it is perfect. If your like me no it is not. Due to the type of work that I do security reason and clearances this would not be good for me. I believe this product is wonderful for those that want everything in one place. It works and it so easy and one thing I love about Samsung is thorough. The Samsung Connect Home is thought out product and great for those that want everything connected. I believe it is the best out here on the market.

Pros:
Easy set up
Modern, smooth design
Cons:
Did not increase WiFi range
I was hoping to use WiFi in my back yard, (which is not far from the hub) but it still doesn't reach. I can find my neighbors WiFi, but not mine. I'm wondering if it has to do with the concrete basement walls.. which would be in between the hub and the yard.

I have always been a Samsung "Fan". I was slightly skeptical however, about Smart Hubs. I wondered why they are something we should buy. Since samsung released the connect home I was intrigued. Thankfully, #TheInsidersUS, graced me with the opportunity to do so. In the box, you receive, the Hub itself, the AC Power adapter, Ethernet Network Cable, and set up guides, and warranty information. Set up, was extremely simple, and fool proof. In my particular situation, I live in an apartment literally surrounded by Trees and filled with many other obstacles. These factors have always caused a problem and degraded my home Wi-Fi. I've tried multiple extenders, and such, most of which constantly still caused connectivity issues. So Network was my main focus, regarding this product. I must say, following set up, I was amazed at the range and reliability this hub provided my Home Wi-Fi Network. This device improved coverage area, and speed. Increasing speed particularly by a consistent 30%! I had high hopes at this point. I did experience 1 or 2 issues when my network wasn't functioning at all. Thankfully I found these were related to my service provider, and damaged lines in my area. Upon having a successful experience with network range, I decided to purchase a few smart Home devices to test out. I purchased a Smart Wifi Outlet, Light Bulb, And Motion Detection device (for security). This was a little more challenging to set up, and had connection issues with these devices. Overall it was a new, but not impressive experience. In conclusion, I am pleasantly surprised with the Connect Home Pro's durable and compact design, Home WiFi Network Improvement capabilities, and ease of set up. I was left desiring a bit more in regards to Smart Home device Connectivity and Compatibility. This is something I hope is improved in the near future, and equally efficient in both Network and Hub Capabilities. Despite this, it is definitely a product I would recommend to family and friends. Especially those with similar home conditions to mine, that Impede Network efficiency. I am extremely Thankful to #TheInsidersUS for allowing me this opportunity.
