With a Surface Pro 3 and an iPad Pro playing YouTube videos, while a MacBook Air tuned in to an internet radio station, my Samsung Tab Pro S moved files back and forth with a network-attached storage system. The SmartThings Wifi network satisfied a variety of users at once, passing our informal saturation test. If you pay the national average cost of electricity (13.1 cents per kilowatt-hour), they each have an estimated annual cost of operation of about $5 all three would add up to $15 per year. Along the way, they each used 4.3-watts of power.
Although the devices got warm to the touch, they never exceeded 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
It ran for several days without a data hiccup.

The three SmartThing Wifi devices were more than enough to fill my old 3,500-square-foot house with bandwidth to spare. That's better than Eero's 128.9Mbps and 103.5Mbps, respectively, but behind the Linksys Velop's 331.6Mbps and 223.2Mbps on the same tests. The SmartThings mesh network we created was in the middle of the pack with it able to distribute 325.1Mbps on a single-hop (with two devices) and 186.7Mbps on a double-hop topology (with three devices). Each SmartThings Wifi device is rated by Samsung to cover about 1,500 square feet, and the three-pack is good for a 4,500-square-foot home. It comes with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of space to store its firmware and settings. Samsung SmartThings Wifi review: Performanceīased on Qualcomm's IPQ 4019 Wi-Fi control chip, the SmartThings Wifi router runs on a 710MHz quad-core processor. Each device has input and output gigabit Ethernet connections but lacks a USB port.

The SmartThings devices are simply designed, without a power switch, but they have a recessed reset button for returning the device to its factory software and settings. MORE: Our Favorite Smart Home Gadgets and Systems For those who live in a large house, a SmartThings Wifi network can handle up to 32 devices rather than three or four, but the bandwidth at the extremities will fall off as the extensions exceed five or six devices. Inside, there're no fewer than seven antennas: a pair for each of the 2.4Hz and 5GHz bands as well as individual ones for Bluetooth, Zigbee and ZWave connections. It not only shows the health of the network, tests network speed and has parental controls but continually optimizes the network based on use. The mesh system incorporates control software from Plume.
