AmpliFi Alien

I've got the Amplifi HD x2 and a Meshpoint and they are starting to hit end of life. Where I work used to sell them and they are all starting to die around the 6 year mark, Even have some kicking the bucket around the 3 year mark. We have an abundance of the meshpoints but the material they are coat

Full disclosure, I run a full Unifi setup and use Protect. But yes, you are correct, Ubiquiti has a checkered past where they made decisions to abruptly discontinue support for their products. I use to manage an old Unifi Video system when they abruptly sunsetted it for Protect that you could not ru

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.

I’m unfamiliar with AmpliFi Alien but I would recommend always hardwiring these devices. It’s worth it for reliability and reducing the load on your home WiFi If you insist on keeping AmpliFi, try to run cables (consider outdoor runs too, they can often simplify your setup considerably) and strategi

I can assure you switching to unifi is no big deal anymore. I also upgraded my alien setup to 2 u7 pro wall access points, 2 unifi flex mini 2.5 switches and the cloud gateway max. Total cost not more than 2 Amplifi alien at retail and the upgrade for me was huge. 2.5G network everywhere and more th

Unless you need 6GHz Wi-Fi, you could go with an Amplifi alien or two with a mesh setup. But that's only Wi-Fi 6. It's still really good. For your gaming, though, I recommend connecting with ethernet.

I currently have two Amplifi Alien routers with one in bridge mode acting as a mesh node. Has a dedicated 6GHz backhaul connection to not eat into overall bandwidth from other devices. I have zero connectivity issues across maybe 30-40 devices connected. I always see a NAT of Open across other devic
