Used this to replace my factory router for CenturyLink Fiber. Connected directly from the ISP provided ONT device to the Alien Wifi 6 using PPPoE.
Get your PPPoE login information from CenturyLink by calling their customer service line or login to the administrator console it can be found there as well on select CenturyLink provided modems.
VLAN Tag needs to be on with the code 201. Improved speeds, more than advertised. I am advertised at 940Down/940Up and am getting 970 down and 960 up now. Wifi speeds have improved dramatically. Absolutely recommend.

Completely fixed our WiFi problems. We had a Orbi mesh system before and had nothing but problems. This has replaced the mesh with a single router and gives a much stronger signal and speed. Highly recommend it. It’s worth the money

I have a mesh setup with 3 of these, works amazingly! I live on the second floor and I have 2 in my apartment and one downstairs in the garage and it gets enough signal to provide 300mbps in the garage.

Not the most feature rich router to customize (if you're tech savvy and like to tinker) but more importantly it's one of the most stable and fastest routers I've used. To me that's more important.
Range isn't as far as other's I've used but it's still way above average in speed and distance.
I bought two of them to make a mesh. Do that and spend the few extra dollars rather than the combo package of router + mesh because if the router fails the mesh is useless and cannot be used with a different router.

The “Alien”

We produce a podcast called Mysterious Radio so we had to have speed! We got rid of that snail from Xfinity and purchased a surfboard S33. Then we bought two of these right out the gate and OMG are they fast!! You will definitely need to upgrade the ethernet cable that comes with it. We searched online and purchased a Cat8 cable which is more than enough. The speed test went up quite considerably. Set the alien free and open up all the frequencies, Turn on the additional 5G radios, band steering and router steering. Enjoy!

This thing is jaw dropping phenomenal!
Made me return a pair of Orbi's and i thought i had solved my wifi issue P.S, i got rid of google finally i got tired of them being in my business and forcing me to use the home app!!
Enter the Amplifi Alien!
I stumbled across this monster on youtube!
Everything in my house is using this one router and i mean everything!
I like that you can turn off the base light as well as the lcd screen.
And really like the customization such as being able to not only your devices but also put built in photo related icons. Incredible!
Forgot to mention im in a two story townhouse rougly about 2000 sq feet.

As a technology enthusiast with a longstanding penchant for high-end routers, I have been consistently disappointed with the underwhelming WiFi and LAN speeds of my previous purchases. However, my recent acquisition of the Alien Amplifi Router has left me thoroughly impressed. The performance of my network has been nothing short of exceptional, with unparalleled speed and unbridled freedom. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this router highly enough for those seeking a truly exceptional networking experience.

Easily the best router for the price. 2x faster speeds vs the unifi hd mesh. House is 5000 sqft and can get at least 1/2 our max internet speed in every part of the home.

My decision to purchase this router after reading the reviews both on best buy and online was the right choice. I came from having the worst year and a half of loosing signal from a Linksys router to having no drops at all these past few days. The router was easy to setup, looks great, and provides actual status on the device itself. I don’t want to speak to soon, but my issues have been resolved with this router, 13 total devices and it has no problems handling the load.
