Using the Wi-Fi hub

Connecting with a mobile device

To connect the Wi-Fi hub with a mobile device, you must install the Samsung Connect app on 
the mobile device. You can download the app from 

Galaxy Apps

Play Store

, or 

App Store

.

•  

Visit 

www.samsung.com

 to see compatible devices with the Samsung Connect 

app.

•  

You must register and sign in to your Samsung account to use the Samsung 
Connect app.

•  

Supported features may vary depending on your mobile device and its operating 
system.

 Wi-Fi hub 

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the hub’s WAN port (IN) and the other end to 
the modem’s LAN port.

Connect the adapter to the Wi-Fi hub.
The Wi-Fi hub will turn on and the indicator light will flash green.

Use only Samsung-approved adapters (12 V/2.1 A or higher).

•  

You can use the Wi-Fi hub only when you connect the Wi-Fi hub to an adapter.

•  

If the Wi-Fi hub’s temperature exceeds 55 °C, the Wi-Fi hub’s internal fan will 
automatically activate. If the Wi-Fi hub overheats for a prolonged period, the Wi-Fi 
hub may automatically turn off or reset. When this happens continually, disconnect 
the adapter from the Wi-Fi hub and contact a Samsung Service Center.

•  

To save energy, unplug the adapter when not in use. The adapter does not have a 
power switch, so you must unplug the adapter from the electric socket when not in 
use to avoid wasting power. The adapter should remain close to the electric socket 
and be easily accessible while using it.
