Walmart still has an Amplifi system for sale.

The Amplifi line from Ubiquiti is actually a good reliable WiFi and Mesh system for the average home user. I had two of the Amplifi Aliens and they were great devices very good WiFi coverage and easy to setup. I never had any issues out of them.

Is Amplifi being phased out?

Amplifi Alien routers are not being replaced. Recently tried to RMA one and they accepted the sent in one but had nothing to send me back so I got upgraded to UniFi equipment.

Let the addiction begin

My Amplifi Alien Wi-Fi 6 router. It'll be up for sale once I get the UDR7 up and running lol. It's technically a Unifi product, but in the Amplifi product line.

AmpliFi Alien EOL ...

Not sure what version of Amplifi Alien routers you might be looking at but I own and use two and the last firmware release notes on the Amplifi site show this for the latest release notes. My two Aliens have firmware versions of 4.0.5 which is two releases later than the 4.0.3 listed on the site. Bo

New house set up

Unfortunately there isn’t one brand that does everything well so depending on what you want you’ll end up with a few brands/options/hubs. Here’s my setup of a little over a year and I’ve had 0 issues in my new house. I use Ethernet whenever possible, and give static IPs to every smart home device. M

Nest increases subscription price, here comes Ubiquiti!

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

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.

Good cheap-ish routers for Macs

I personally like my UniFi setup. It is not an all in one like an AirPort Extreme though. Amplifi Alien is the same brand as UniFi but has HomeKit Secure support if you only need one router to cover your house. TP Link makes some HomeKit routers. It just depends on what you want it to do.
