AmpliFi Alien

Good points. I had AmpliFi Aliens a few years ago and loved them. I switched to eero for a short time, but had so many strange issues from Sonos speakers intermittently not working to Wi-Fi speeds randomly slowing to a crawl. I switched to the UniFi line 3 years ago and all the issues went away. The

You're not gonna get much faster than that without WiFi 7. I think the Alien is WiFi 6. 750 Mbps download on a WiFi 6 mesh kit is actually not bad at all. The UniFi line of gear is really the natural progression from the Amplifi stuff, but to be completely honest, mesh performance really isn't UniFi

Das ist ein grundsätzliches Problem mit frühen WiFi 6 Geräten. Da gab es anfangs zu viel proprietäres Kuddelmuddel. Die PS5 ist von 2020. WiFi 6 ist erst wirklich ein Standard seit 2021. WiFi 6e erst seit 2023. Da treffen dann APs die 802.11ac-2013 mit 3x3 MIMO oder sogar 4x4 MIMO und Beamforming ma

Why do you need another mesh endpoint? Did you expand your house/apt? Expending your Mesh network with another one wont always help you, in some cases it will make your internet experience worse. At this point Amplifi gear is older and there is much better stuff out there. Youre probably better off

Almost positive you never had the AMPLIFI Alien or even seen one in person. It’s FAR from cheap build! I’m thrilled with the Dream Router 5G Max design as the mini Dream router 7 screen is a major disappointment. I have the Alien and the UI is brilliant with relevant information. I was upset when my

Unfortunately, the individual radios last a few years then just die out of nowhere. Since the reboot didn't fix the issue, you'll likely need a new router. eBay has a few new Amplifi Aliens. UniFi sells the Dream Router 5G Max which looks a lot like the Amplifi Alien, with newer technology, but wors

It's way too expensive. The AmpliFi Alien justified its $350 price tag with 16 streams, but the Dream Router 5G Max only offers 6. Given that massive downgrade in spatial streams, a fairer price point would be closer to $300–$350.

I’ve had the AMPLIFI Alien, only for its radio antennas to simply fail on me. Randomly the WiFi just stopped working - and I could only connect to network with the device that was physically touching the router. Replaced it with UDR7 and holy damn - it’s everything I’ve missed with AMPLIFI. Starting

Amplifi Alien with plans to move to UniFi soon

i ran into this last month swapping out some amplifi gear. the UniFi Dream Machine Pro would handle your 1gig easily, then add a couple U6 Mesh access points for the wireless backhaul situation. the u6 mesh units have dedicated 5ghz radios that handle mesh links way better than the alien's implement
