Q: Does this setup require the Samsung Router? Or will it work with any router, such as a Google OnHub?
A: Not sure what the rest of the responders are referring to- but let's be clear- this is a router! You could ultimately plug it into a separate router, but unless you have an extremely large home- that should be unnecessary. The config is the following for most users: The first puck plugs into your broadband modem (cable or DSL), just as your current router is now (except the first puck replaces the current router). The second and third pucks are there to be placed anywhere in the house to create a seamless (no dead spots) wifi network that then communicate back to the central puck (the router). You DO NOT (nor would I recommend for simplicities sake) yet another router.
A: We just purchased this. Our router/modem is from Comcast (Xfinity). I can't say for certain it will work with what you have, but I don't see why not. This is a wireless setup, so there are no wires connecting it to your internet provider's router and modem. It can be challenging to set up, but once it is set up, it has worked well. Home is about 3000 square feet. You could also consider the Netgear Orbi or Eero's second-generation Wi-Fi system, which are a bit cheaper.
Q: best buy lists only 2.4.. is it not dual band? or does it also work with 5.0 ?
A: It also works on 5.0
Q: Does the second and third unit require hard wire internet connection or just a power source?
A: You can add a wire for more stability or what's called a wired backhaul. However, it is not required and for most users, the wireless backhaul, even with lower performance than the primary unit will be just fine.
Q: Is this home wifi? Or do i have to have internet already in place to use these? Why is there 3?
A: You would need an internet connection.
A: No, it does not
Q: Can I use this product any where, or only home
A: This item is meant for use as a home hub.
