Ubiquiti Amplifi Alien Tri Band WiFi 6 Router Mesh Ready

The media could not be loaded. I was doing a bit of research into mesh routers and this product kept popping up in the top 3 when compared to other mesh systems.I eventually narrowed my search down to the Orbi vs Alien.I chose the Alien as many reviews reported that a house ofmy size (4 bed Semi,1600sq ft) doesn’t really need the Mesh system and the Alien router would cover the whole house without having to purchase the second unit. That, and the fact the Alien router is just a beauty to look at. The Touch screen has loads of cool function you can run off of it. The app is easy and simple to use. It literally took a couple of minutes to set up.Range, strength and reliably has significantly improved compared to my Virgin 4.0 router… and looks so much better in my office next to my consoles.Really happy with this purchase. The Alien router is truly unique and perfect for anyone looking for a router that has decent functionality, is easy to set up and looks cool as F* in the process.

I’ve always been led to believe it is illegal to sell electrical items in the UK without a UK plug , come on Amazon you can do better !!Same day delivery but EU stock , had to go out & buy the correct lead next day making same day delivery pointless

Bought this mesh wifi router to add a bit of range to my existing Alien and setup was super simple, the app found it and you just select "join mesh" and that's it. Coverage seems good and speeds are as expected.

Everything seemed to work fine for a time, the updates made things worse compared to when we first got it. Some updates improved it some made it worse on the range/speed.The app was easy to use and set up. However the problem is it no longer works as of today in jan 22.There is no light indicators it switchs on, and no signal anymore. No real cause, the reset doesn't work either, customer support doesn't reply either on the website, contacted them early in the morning and i waited with no response.I paid premium and i can't seem to even get a response on how to fix it or if i can even have a replacement.The router has been it's place for months with no movement.At first i thought it could be because it overheated? But then i realized the weather is cold since it's winter. So there isn't really any real cause of it's malfunction.Unlucky dud that i got? Or is it a flaw? Wondering if other reviewers will be experiencing the same in time.

These things are awesome, the connection speed to my laptop is about 3x that of an eero pro 6, but these are only dual band in europe and NOT Triband like amazon says, only the US ones are triband

This is OK, looks great and works OK. Wifi signal isnt the best (I have the mesh point too), and stability is also questionable especially if you upgrade firmware to 3.6.1 - best to roll back and things will be stable. I dont think Alien fully check the firmware before releasing as everytime you upgrade things get worse.

I have used the Amplifi HD router and mesh points for a few years now, and they are superb. I have recommended them to multiple people, friends and family, they are faultless and no wifi dead spots. But I wanted them to be faster to the new Wifi6 standard, without hard wiring my house. So I thought I'd give this a go.All the reviews, and the specs on Unifi website, suggests this would be at least twice as powerful on it's own, as the Amplifi HD mesh with the two points. Let me tell you - it IS NOT!...If the unit is in the same room, on the same floor - it is blazingly fast, like 2 gigabits fast, dropping to 1gbps in the next room. But then it drops dramatically, to almost unusable speeds, on another floor or another room away.My house is typical British standard, breeze block inner walls with brick outer. Granted they are solid interior walls so maybe this is where the problem lies. But when tested against the Amplifi HD with mesh points (similar price and now 4 years or more old), it does not compare for range and stability.I have numerous 'smart' devices around the house, with one in particular being on the opposite outside wall to control a pond waterfall. This router would not stay connected to it. It's on 2.4Ghz band, so should be easy for this to connect to.My advice, if you are coming from an Amplifi HD with 2 mesh points, buy the dual kit (with another mesh), as this device on its own cannot compete, unless you live in a tent!

I been using Alien for last 3 years unfortunately I am having an issue one day no WiFi in home upon connected with support I have find out my wifi antennas gone which really surprised me I have spent 389 euro to get my Alien and the reason to get this only reviews about it and I was thinking this is proper company who have been doing really good in network technology but soon I realised they are third class people as they said to me and informed me that you are out of warranty and we don’t do hardware replace so basically through your 389 euro into bin after just 2 year and 7 months of use I was really surprised a company of this size have no department or ethics to deal this kind of issue after this experience now it’s depend on you all if you want business with them people I say good luck because if problem arise then you will understand what kind of third class approach they have to deal with issues like I have my mission is spread mouth of word everywhere about them people I am going to warn everyone stay away and soon I am going share all screen short of thier response to me and all unsuccessful RMA responses they write to me it’s ridiculous and rip off.i wish I never bought this directly from them or may I have used paypal as my funding source so at least I have some forum to escalate this issue to independent body because the way they just get rid of this issue is like this is no concern to them it’s big shame on Ubiquity Akh thooo
