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.

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.

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

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 2026
Good points. I had AmpliFi Aliens a few years ago and loved them. I switched to eero for a short time, but had so many strange issues from Sonos speakers intermittently not working to Wi-Fi speeds randomly slowing to a crawl. I switched to the UniFi line 3 years ago and all the issues went away. The

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

Recommendations to replace 2 Amplifi Alien’s
You're not gonna get much faster than that without WiFi 7. I think the Alien is WiFi 6. 750 Mbps download on a WiFi 6 mesh kit is actually not bad at all. The UniFi line of gear is really the natural progression from the Amplifi stuff, but to be completely honest, mesh performance really isn't UniFi

Meine Ps5 unterbricht alle halbe Stunde die WLAN Verbindung
Das ist ein grundsätzliches Problem mit frühen WiFi 6 Geräten. Da gab es anfangs zu viel proprietäres Kuddelmuddel. Die PS5 ist von 2020. WiFi 6 ist erst wirklich ein Standard seit 2021. WiFi 6e erst seit 2023. Da treffen dann APs die 802.11ac-2013 mit 3x3 MIMO oder sogar 4x4 MIMO und Beamforming ma

Amplifi Mesh System - need another mesh point or just go AT&T
Why do you need another mesh endpoint? Did you expand your house/apt? Expending your Mesh network with another one wont always help you, in some cases it will make your internet experience worse. At this point Amplifi gear is older and there is much better stuff out there. Youre probably better off

Dream Router 5G Max - disappointment
Almost positive you never had the AMPLIFI Alien or even seen one in person. It’s FAR from cheap build! I’m thrilled with the Dream Router 5G Max design as the mini Dream router 7 screen is a major disappointment. I have the Alien and the UI is brilliant with relevant information. I was upset when my
