So the ST Hub with WiFi is as good as the ST Hub right? Anyone had any issues with the ST Hub with WiFi? Hate having different devices for WiFi and separate hubs.

Best answer
ST hub with WiFI has nothing to do with separate hubs.

@sammy Samsung has a ST hub with built in WiFi into 1 device. This eliminates the need for a WiFi router.

@dieppe Ah gotcha, I thought they were talking a V3 hub.

Personally I'll never get one of those. It's OK as a wifi router but there's better out there. The biggest problem is when WiFi tech invariably moves on (we're on the virge of widespread WiFi 6, in fact) then you now have an obsolete router. Great, you think, I'll just migrate to a new device. There is no way to migrate to a new ST hub at the present time.

I would never use it as my main router, but it would be very handy to keep your wifi IOT devices separated for that extra layer of security.
