Best answer
Get the V3 hub and connect to your router with an Ethernet cable. Avoid buying Wi-Fi devices for your automation. You need to a plan to build Zwave and Zigbee networks. Powered devices such as switches and plugs act as routers. Be sure to get both Zwave abc Zigbee powered devices to support the battery powered ones. Again stay away from Wi-Fi where possible.

Just get the V3 hub.
