    This item is written as Mesh Router… it reads that it comes with 1 satelite mesh point. It does NOT come with that satelite mesh point. It is just a router! And they sell it at the price of Router and mesh point that you can find right at Amplifi dot com. Ordered one, called and the rep told me it should have satelite, so i shipped that back and they reshipped. Got the same product - just the router. Save yourself hastle, just buy from Amplifi. If you just want router, that is only 199 there as well. This is no deal!

    Excellent router with easy set up. Did take some changes to make it work perfect but has been flawless since the changes. Only con I can think of is that it is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    Best router I have had to date. Fast, easy setup and front panel touch led console is nice for quick task. LED's turn off at night so as not to be obnoxious if it's in your sleep area. Works well with my UniFi 6 AP's.

    So far it’s been great. Installed 2. Every thing worked great after firmware up grade. I may need a third but very reasonable price

    Router is mostly good had a few issues with PS4 Pro not connecting to the wifi and ring devices losing connectivity. This was possibly due to a firmware update. Has been stable recently since the last reconfiguration.

    Been a solid router since day one. No issues at all with device connectivity or throughput. Enjoy the touchscreen, wish it was a little more customizable. Best router I've owned so far.

    So far a very good and strong router. There are multiple radios and possible SSIDs you can have so there's no interference. Does well in an area where other folks have overlapping channels on the 2.4Ghz range.

    Awesome device. It’s plug and play but customisable for the elevated techies. Like the included VPN. Worth a buy.

    Super strong MESH WiFi. I originally bought a two pack then bought another one thinking I needed it because I have 4 floors in my townhouse. Come to find out it is so strong that I only needed 2.

    Excellent router! Consistently get beyond my ISP stated download and upload speeds. Great range and the features are great. I love the Teleport app that can be used to access your home network securely when you’re away from home. You can also add additional Ubiquiti Amplifi Alien routers to create a mesh network as well. Highly recommend.

    A better router/system could exist I guess, but I sure haven't found one. You'll pay a little more than for some other devices, but the difference is huge in range, speed and consistency.

    Works very well. Very fast setup time. Only one wireless name need instead of having one for 2.4 ghz and one for 5 ghz. Makes all products work on the same network
