AmpliFi Alien

Amplifi Alien routers are not being replaced. Recently tried to RMA one and they accepted the sent in one but had nothing to send me back so I got upgraded to UniFi equipment.

edited after watching the release video I’ve been a vocal advocate for Ubiquiti’s AmpliFi Alien routers for years—constantly recommending them to friends and online communities for their seamless mesh performance, Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, and that sleek, minimalist design.

The three Wi-Fi mesh systems I am familiar with are plume, eero, and Amplifi Alien. Stay far away from Plume. Eero is fine, but doesn’t have the level of configuration I want. Alien is better, but dated, I’d expect them to update to Wi-Fi 7 soon. If setting up fresh, I’d go with Uniquiti’s commercia

(my first WiFi6 router) A lot of my devices did not like how the router managed the WiFi 6 standard especially on 2.4GHx band (if you turned that off and went with the older WiFi sta
