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

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

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

Upgraded my U6 Pro with U7 XGS - great improvement

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 🙄

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

Should I move from the Amplifi Alien to one of the Unifi routers

I'll echo most others. Used AmpliFi Alien for years, but it was time to move on my I had 4 units. 1 had an Ethernet port die and a second stopped powering up altogether (well after the warranty period). This happened as we bought a new house with wireless signal difficulties (it's a very long and tw

Installation Process for 1G

I have sort of looked into that. Good call, but since I upgraded to multi gig, first I need to buy a better router, my previous router is AMPLIFI Alien which is barely on the brink of supporting multi gig. So to me, the juice is not worth the squeeze. Maybe eventually when I get another router proba

AmpliFi Firmware - Alien 4.0.8

I just made the big mistake of clicking on the "Update" button on my Amplifi Alien router. Now I'm stuck with a non-rollback v4.0.8 and although my one wired connection still works, I have absolutely no WiFi anymore. Tried powering off, waiting a long time, powering back on, also factory reset, stil
