The one big problem with US based testers is that US homes are largely built using drywall, so no concrete internal walls. In Europe most homes all are concrete built homes with all walls downstairs anyway being concrete. So when a router maker says 3000sqft, you can half that essentially

Your speed tests mean nothing if you're not testing from the same server. You tested from multiple different servers that can have a dramatic effect on your speed test results.

What I really like is it has a built in vpn and I can use this on my iPhone when using the web browser anywhere away from home. The best app ever amplify!!

Americans: “What speed do I get throughout different positions of my home?” Australians: “What time is my internet going to drop out today?”

Touch screen it’s totally a overkill even has feedback vibration! Love this router ! It’s expensive but no more Poor signal and it looks amazing

Can someone post the best settings for this router line by line for the best performance possible

I got two alien routers instead of the mesh version. Connecting the 2nd router took 5 seconds, it was as easy as just clicking add and it did the rest.

Which orbi did you use? am trying to decide between the aliena an the orbi rbk853

Currently work for an Isp and just got a couple of these guys in. Installed plenty of the Amplifi HD mesh kits which are also super great, But this is catching my eye and I'm exited to install these, only difference. I work with wisp and have no modems and use statics

Hi I think you’d get more “true” speeds if you used a device with a 4x4 antennae and WiFi 6 capability correct? I could be wrong but doing a speed test with a phone as opposed to a new PC/Mac with a 4x4 antennae and the former with possibly WiFi 6.

The link takes me to a Wifi 5 mesh, there is no AX standard in the amplifi mesh.

Two different phones so potentially different speeds since each phone runs antennas differently and some phones are plainly worse than others regarding wifi speeds. Not holding the phones in the exact same position which can also alter results when doing side-by-sides. Doing one test at night and then the other the following day at a different time. Speeds fluctuate throughout the day and night depending on your neighbor's activity/how many devices are using the same provider around your area.

Key thing to take away from this video: Speedtests that go out to a web server aren’t completely consistent if you aren’t connecting to the same one every time. Here’s what I analyzed based on what’s in the video: 3:01 - Central Access 6:41 - Hayneville Fiber Transport 7:06 - Sprint 7:32 - Hayneville Fiber Transport 7:58 - Sprint 8:36 - Southern Light 8:57 - Cox - New Orleans 9:49 - Southern Light 10:23 - Cox - New Orleans This would explain the inconsistencies of the speedtest results. It appeared that your newer device happened to be hitting the servers that are closer to you, which yield better performance. To make the tests more consistent, you should change the server every time in the Speedtest app so they all match.

I tried to buy the Amplifi for months, it was never available so I went with the new Orbi CBK752 WiFi 6 Mesh which is awesome, so much for Amplifi.

I was hoping he would say something about adding to the mesh system like another satellite. From a number of written reviews, it was indicated that the mesh system is hardwired so you can't add to it nor replace the satellite if it ever dies.

Can you set the Amplifi Alien up in Access point mode without using the mobile App? Or alternatively can you set it up using the mobile app and then just delete that so there isn't any vendor privacy issue?

Your watch looks like it's squeezing the hell out of your wrist! Nice video. Great info 👍🏿

Shane what background are you running in your computer in this video???

I live in the country side in ireland would it make any difference if I bought a cat5e or cat6 ethernet cable would that clear up the signal or should I got with the mesh system

So you didn't have to go into the settings for AT&T to do a IP passthrough or anything like that?

Can I combine this with a airport express from apple?

Thoroughput?

I have 3 of these. One as the main router and the other 2 as extended mesh points for range. My room however is connected to the 3rd one since my room is furthest from the main router. So my question is how should I connect my Xbox through the 3rd one? Through wifi or connect it straight to it with Ethernet?

Are these available in Canada?

Buyer beware. The mesh part is failing. Mine stopped after six months. Customer service sucks

I am new to setting up all this kind of stuff, so forgive me for not knowing what all of these settings mean.. With that said, I live in an old condo building with about 12 other tenants total.. I bought one of these, along with the Netgear nighthawk cm1200 modem to replace my existing spectrum modem/router combo I have been renting.. My question-is there any way to make my network run better In my place? I know that all of the Wi-Fi frequencies in a condo building when living so closely to other people cause slow down and connection issues, drops, etc.. Again, forgive me for not knowing a lot about this stuff.. The screen on my Amplifi Alien says that my Wi-Fi performance is usually about 75- 85%… My place that I live in is a tiny one bedroom condo that should EASILY be fully covered..My game consoles and smart tv are hard wired to the alien, so the only items I am using wirelessly at any given time are phones, my iPad, 2 (gen 3) Amazon echo dots, and 3 GE Cync Light Bulbs.. That’s it.. About a total of 7 wireless items.. How do I get my wireless to be better at performing? Or is it impossible due to where I am living?I do have some concrete walls due to the age of the building, but these walls are pretty much just the outer walls (not inner walls where I am moving around).

Man you in America get so good internet... Like I'm living in Germany and I pay for 500 down and 200up bout 100€ which r bout 120$ and I just get 400down on very good days and 100up lol

Did you have to periodically reset the router? Unplugging it and plugging it back to the electric outlet?

So u can't use that as a moderm for your internet?

I'd like to get this to replace my TP-Link AX50/AX3000 router. It's so aggravating because I have Xfinity gig service going into a new Arris S33 (2.5 gig modem) into a new TP-Link AX50 (got all of this in February 2022) and 4 times ever have I gotten 500+ mbps download speed wireless AND ethernet but normally I get 170-240 mbps wifi or ethernet. So I know it's possible for my iPhone 12 & Chromebook (with a USB 3.0 port & 10/100/1000 ethernet adapter) to get 500+ speeds. So maybe getting this Alien router will help? If I get no better performance maybe I could send it back for a refund. Any ideas on what's going on with my current setup? BTW I've tried using a Cat5e cable as well as a Cat8 cable. Cheers!

The amplifi alien wifi 6 router is on their official website along with their other routers

i own two separate single unit models of these. both installed in larger homes and the single unit is plenty coverage for my homes. i even get signal in my neighbors yard. my house is 4 bedroom, 2 bath, a few thousand Sq ft. these are fast, and cover large areas, they run ipv6, wifi6, and just work well. i run a 2Gb modem with mine and it screams fast at Gig speeds on older coaxial connection, i didnt even need fiber

Is it compatible with xfinity? And currently I have the xfi gateway 3rd gen but I am not sure about what it’s coverage is I can’t find that online anywhere but is 3000 sq ft the same or more coverage? I just don’t want less

Does anyone knows if you can buy meshpoint as add on later to the router, and how many can you add?

Is the Amplifi Alien subscription based or one time pay?

Is it good as a stand-alone? In a 2500 sq ft home

Is it true it doesn’t support WPA3 security?

Mine doesn’t work good. My iPhone on WiFi calling keeps saying failed call.

Comparing a wifi 6 mesh to wifi 5 isn’t exactly a fair comparison. I’d say the Orbi held up really well.

There is a power cable included? Fuck me man, thats crazy!!

Are these better than the google routers?

Did you purchase this Alien router because of the looks? Or was it because it has the best features other routers don't have? Honestly today with all the IOT devices people have in their homes, a Mesh Router System is needed along with extenders.

How much is it monthly

You should order faster internet, that RG is a 210 model, it will not go faster that what you get, if you had the model known as 320, and had 1gb, you would get more, most likely 1.2 GB Everytime

Link goes to a different router!

So it I buy this I could connect the amplifier to my ordinary box? Will I have to pay more?

Deco x95 is better. Alien doesn't even have dedicated backhaul. You can even keep adding decos with no real slowdown because backhaul. Not overpriced either.

AmpliFi Support (AmpliFi) Oct 24, 2021, 13:19 PDT Hi Mark, Thanks for getting in touch with us! Amplifi will give the same wifi speed which your isp is providing. However, i can cover a large area giving good results. For example, if you have 200 speeds from the ISP, then the Amplifi router should give the same speed on wireless and wired on the client devices. It will not boost the speed above 200 as the ISP is only providing that much speed on your connection.

The number of antennas in the phone is going to limit this test. Why don't people understand this?

Alien modem is a bouy from ww2 to explode on “impact”

So to mesh this with 3 units, I need 3 routers? Ouch. That's over $1200. For that money, I should get gigabit speeds from anywhere in the house. Worse, if the satellite ever dies you have to buy a new kit because the router comes hardwired to that satellite.

Bye yall. He said 699, I'm out.

I’m from LA; do you think it’s worth getting it. My speed is from Spectrum 1GB Am I going to see a difference from UPLOAD? My download I get 700; on Upload 40 which doesn’t make any sense. So I’m trying to see if the AmpLifi is worthy and change the upload speed? Hopefully you reply 😅

I lag spike so hard on this router on ethernet

So many superlatives....it's pretty awesome.

My asus router gets better speeds. I hopenits because youve used multiple servers to test. I dunno.

This should teach y’all to be humble of your internet connection. Where I’m at I’m paying $80 for a 15 mbps and I live in a rural area with limited available service

For such an expensive piece of equipment the speeds suck ass

Thorough-put? 😅

Why does the title and thumbnail claim to be a 6 month later review? Wasting my time…

Throughput pronounced threw-put

This router doesn't even compete with the Apple router for range and speeds. Unfortunately, Apple stopped selling their routers. I was looking to replace a couple of them because they are old and stopped working. Its very disappointing that I can't find a router as good as Apple's.

Using a diy pfsense box and 2x xaiomi ax3600s as wifi APs. Similar to, and cheaper than this.

anyone using over 40mbps is an environmental criminal

Couple of points here to put things in perspective. First of all if you own a small business and you need constant uptime this is NOT for you since this company does not offer live phone support. So if you have a problem and you system is down forget it you are going to have to wait for an email. Must be a bunch of geeks running this place they are incapable of taking the phone and calling you. Some of you may have mist it but there are still a few generations of people out there that handles emergencies over a phone. Unlike Asus which I have owned for years prior to that and you have an excellent phone support during business hours. On many of those video there is a claim about extended coverage. I don't have such a big house and was able to run my house with 2 previous generation Asus routers. Was very happy to be able to have just one. Well well what a surprise I ended up having to buy 3 of them. My Wyze cams on windows could not get a stable feed. And the second one was not enough either, I reach the front or back windows not both. So busy sealing with piping and ducting and exterior walls with stone forget this. Must be ok for apartment building with cardboard walls like yours. Wanted to add a 3rd party router as a mesh point and I had to dig and dig before I found out that you could not. Not upfront with the documentation. Made the mistake of adding the mesh via able and start up wooooo big mistake got to add it via the phone app. Again no documentation specific on adding a mesh point out of the box. They have no software support for monitoring network on a pc. Really ?? Just a smartphone app. This is not serious. Ho and the unit itself looks really slick with the lights and so on but if you have a rack where all your gear fits in, this is not ideal either. It appears that Asus has a compatibility problem with control4 systems so I was told to go ubiquiti. I also bought a switch from them which seems to work perfectly so far. If it was not for the compatibility problem I would have been better advised to stick with Asus.

Do not buy Amplify alien. I bought it a month ago and its half of the speed then expected and now they will not refund my account even though I returned the router. Will be filing a complaint with better business bureau.

I think you wasted your money. Your previous router had very much the same speeds in all your tests, granted outside it sucked, but then you could simply switch to 4G on your phone. Speed is not the be all and end all for mobile devices, computers, TV etc. One only needs

Black Friday I gone safe € $ 130 so here is a little tip 4 everyone :D
