    The Ultimate Router

    It’s no understatement that this is probably the only router series I will ever purchase again. Ubiquity nailed this router in ease and performance. Its worry free, Wifi 6, and packs a punch. It also allows for deeper configuration if you do so wish to do more advanced tweaking.

    My previous mesh router would not turn on no matter what I tried or did. I wanted a reliable mesh network in my house. The AmpliFi Alien showed up as I began to look up routers that were not part of the company umbrella of my previous one. I was able to pick up one locally. Setup was a breeze. I did not do much other than plug everything in and let it do its initial setup. Once setup I did as much "fine tuning" for my needs as much as I could through the admin site. I have not used the app much but it does it job from my limited exposure to it. I'm not network guru by any means but the setup was a breeze and connections through my house have been strong and stable. Considering adding another Alien to the setup soon. Please look at the specs on their website and compare their other products to see if it fits your needs

    Easy setup. Performs well. I replaced an old Apple Airport Extreme router. It had been many years since setting up a router. I could not believe how easy it was. Up and running in minutes. Great Wi-Fi coverage.

    We have about 10,000 sq feet to cover and have always struggled with finding a router that gets good speed and connection quality. We have this and a second one as an extender and it could not work any better. 700 mbps or better all throughout the house and our 4 story barn.

    Mind blown!!!! For people who like to know what’s going on with their network this is the router for you. Never seen a router with display on it that you can run a speed test directly from it. Has great range and handles my 1 gig speed with ease without much drop in speed with WiFi.

    This is by far the easier router setup I have ever done. Speeds are now what I should expect, based on the plan from my provider. No problems with the one Alien covering my entire house. It's not the cheapest option, but it's money well spent.

    By far the best home wifi 6 router you can buy. Its pricey but super reliable and easy to setup. Updates come pretty regularly from ubiquiti so you can rest assure you home network is safe and secure.

    I can't speak highly enough of this. I own three now and love their features and their setup is the easiest by-far of any brands I have tried, especially because I do not want to wire-up my house.

    My speeds are blazing fast. WIFI 6 is a God send. Able to have all my house connected with no lag. 5g 2.4g 3 bands in total de conflict your network. App is easy up and running under 3m. You can also put into bridge mode for the fastest speeds.

    So far this router has been amazing! Over the years I have used many different brand wifi routers and at some point had issues. Often these connection issues would start right away or the next week after being setup. Would often need to power cycle to correct them. As of now I have not had one single issue and haven't had to power cycle the device. Also wanted to mention that the company, ubiquiti, that makes this device was highly recommended by my friend who is an IT professional. The company he works for only uses ubiquiti products. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed if you purchase this router, I am very happy and don't regret the purchase or the price.

    Very pleased with this router. Overall better connection, speed, and range. Bought this mainly for better range as my house is 2 floor and fairly large. 100 percent recommended. Can't imagine how good it is with its mesh satellite.

    Finally wifi throughout my house, cement walls prevented most mesh routers to work and would always buffer and not play video smoothly. This router is fast and provides no quality or buffer issues while streaming.

    This router has been great. There are no dead spots in my house and I get fast speeds in every room, even in the backyard! Started with the netgear orbi and returned for this.
