Appendix Troubleshooting Before contacting a Samsung Service Center, please attempt the following solutions. Your Wi-Fi hub freezes If the Wi-Fi hub freezes or hangs, disconnect the adapter from the Wi-Fi hub and reconnect it. Close the SmartThings app completely on your mobile device and restart it. If your Wi-Fi hub is frozen and unresponsive, insert a pin into the Reset hole more than 8 seconds. If the tips above do not solve the problem, contact a Samsung Service Center. Your Wi-Fi hub is not connected with a router This Wi-Fi hub only supports SmartThings routers. Connect only the SmartThings Wifi. Your Wi-Fi hub is not detected by the SmartThings app

If the Wi-Fi hub freezes or hangs, disconnect the adapter from the Wi-Fi hub and reconnect it.

Close the SmartThings app completely on your mobile device and restart it.

If your Wi-Fi hub is frozen and unresponsive, insert a pin into the Reset hole.

Ensure that the other devices are within the maximum connection range. If the tips above do not solve the problem, contact a Samsung Service Center. Other devices cannot connect to the SmartThings app

On the other device, disconnect from the Wi-Fi network and reconnect to it.

Turn the device off and turn it on. English (USA) 26Appendix

The connection is often disconnected

If there are obstacles between the devices, the operating distance may be reduced.

Ensure that the other devices are within the maximum connection range.

When using the Wi-Fi hub with other devices, the connection may be affected by electromagnetic waves. Use the Wi-Fi hub in environments with fewer wireless devices present. The Wi-Fi hub works differently as described in the manual Available functions may differ depending on the connected device. The Wi-Fi is too slow There may be several different issues that are causing slow Wi-Fi speed. Check some of the possible causes below:

Wi-Fi hub location: Place the Wi-Fi hub in an open space and as close to the Wi-Fi supported devices as possible. Any obstacles located between Wi-Fi connected devices and the Wi-Fi hub may slow down the Wi-Fi speed.

Number of connected devices: When many Wi-Fi supported devices are connected to a single Wi-Fi hub, they are all sharing Internet access at limited speed. This can cause your Wi-Fi speed to slow down.

Modem speed: Even if the Wi-Fi connection status is stable, when the modem’s Internet speed is slow, the Wi-Fi speed may decrease. Try to reboot the modem or measure the speed at different times of the day.

Ethernet cable: The Ethernet cable included in the package can support up to 1 Gbps, but some Ethernet cables do not. Connect the modem using the Ethernet cable supplied in the package.

Ethernet port: Check the speed supported by the Ethernet port on the modem or on the Ethernet switch connected to the Wi-Fi hub. When the Ethernet speed is slow, the Wi-Fi hub may also slow down.

Check whether there is anything placed on top of the Wi-Fi hub or whether the Wi-Fi hub is located in an area that may be warmed by outdoor heat. When the Wi-Fi hub gets hot, the CPU speed may be adjusted temporarily to stop it from overheating.

Unplug the power adapter from the Wi-Fi hub and connect it again. English (USA) 27Copyright Copyright © 2018 Samsung Electronics This manual is protected under international copyright laws.
