Amplifi Alien stopped broadcasting Wi-Fi signal
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

About TIME!!!!!! Dream Router 5G Max
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.

Finally joined the club with the UDR7
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

UniFi Travel router now in stock
One of trashes in unifi product. It doesn't support USIM, WIFI 6 nor WIFI 7. GL.iNet with VPN is enough for Site-to-Site network.Come on Unifi. You keep releasing trash products recently. Dream Router 5G Max with 6 streams (<-> 16 streams in AmpliFi Alien Router)

Dream Router 5G Max - disappointment
I wished they anounced the Dream Router 7 with 5G. Ironically, that is exactly what the UDR-5G-Max is... and that is the most disappointing aspect about it. The Wi-Fi specs are identical to the UDR7, the only difference I could spot on the technical page was the antenna gain for the different bands
