I have been debating whether to give the Connect mesh system a try since I have dead spots around my home, especially the garage and basement. Lowe’s has the Samsung Connect 3 pack (not Pro) on [Lowes.com](http://Lowes.com) deal-of-the-day for $89 so I picked one up. At that price it’s worth a shot to see if it will improve both wifi and Smartthings coverage. ---

Is the hub portion of the Connect set any different than the V2 hub? ---

Each satellite has a zigbee and z-wave repeater, which is nice. But it runs a slightly older version of hub firmware, so it supports less local devices > **[Is my Hub's firmware up to date?](https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/207316543-Is-my-Hub-s-firmware-up-to-date-)** > > SmartThings will occasionally push firmware updates to active Hubs to improve performance. >   > How will I know when my Hub’s firmware is being updated? > If downtime is expected during a firmware updat... ---

Thanks…good to know. Does that mean I will have to reload all the device handlers and SmartApps too? ---

That would be a good questions for support. If you currently login with a Samsung account, probably not. ---

Since I already have a hub, can these be used just as extender ? ---
