OMG, 5G max is huge compared to UDR7
I saw it and thought that exact thing too! My AmpliFi Alien needs to be replaced as it’s getting to have quite a few issues and I have the itch to upgrade to a full Ubiquiti setup lol

How do you measure your network quality?
If my partner or kid doesn't complain like they did with our old Netgear setup that means its good. On a serious note I really have enjoyed the level of control UniFi gives, I had a old AmpliFI Alien that the 2.4g radio finally gave out then a horrible experience with a Netgear Nighthawk router but

Can these be meshed together…im attempting everything im reading online
If you have AmpliFi Alien routers from different regions (for example, one US model and one UK/EU model), they will not mesh together.This is a hard technical and legal limitation that trips up a lot of people who buy them second-hand online. Is there any workaround?If you are stuck with two differe

2 Amplifi Alien 6 Router for sell - $250 both, shipped and PP Fees Covered
And that’s what they want. I don’t expect anything from AmpliFi to be announced. The best way for them would be new firmware to make Alien works with UniFi Network. Aliens are available new in EU for 120€. https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/all-amplifi-alien/collections/amplifi-alien/products/am

Long-time Amplifi user — disappointed there’s no clear upgrade path
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

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

What are your bufferbloat grades?
What are you doing for WiFi for that? I'm scoping out what I should get after I switch from my AmpliFi Alien, and the cloud gateway has been on my list

More LAN ports on AmpliFi Alien router? Need switch recommendation
If it’s a dead switch you’ll know instantly. All devices connected to it will stop working. We have these thrown in barns and all sorts, they’re reliable as anything. I’d say the amplifi alien is less reliable than the above switch. If you want to throw yourself into UniFi definitely go for it but d

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.
