AmpliFi Alien

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

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

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

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

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

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

I “upgraded” from 2 AmpliFi aliens to 2 U7 Pros (and the whole Unifi stack) and I’ve been hating my life ever since. I’m glad these are working for you, but I’m done spending money on products that are half baked. I refuse having to upgrade to enterprise grade to have a reliable connection 🙄

Amplifi Alien with plans to move to UniFi soon
