This is the current bleeding edge of technology

If you’re underwhelmed by the current mesh wireless routers on the market, Samsung’s might finally have you what you’re looking for. 

The router, called the Samsung SmartThings Wifi, is a refresh of last year’s Samsung Connect Home but instead uses Plume’s AI-based mesh technology over Samsung’s in-house tech. On top of providing a formidable 4,500 square feet of coverage, the SmartThings Wifi can also act a SmartThings IoT hub.

Add Samsung’s SmartThings IoT platform to the mix that allows you to control smart lights, thermostats, locks, etc... and you’ve got a mesh router that gives the smart home crowd something to write home about.

A three-pack of the Samsung SmartThings Wifi is available now for $279 (around £220, AU$385) while a single device retails for $119 (around £90, AU$165) on its own.
