Review: Where to start. I'm an IT professional with a couple decades of experience, so to say I've been around the block a few times supporting computers, networks and servers is an understatement. With that said, I've had a heck of a time in my home residence of 2,600 square feet of finding a wireless solution which worked reliably. When I purchased my house back in 2008, an old Linksys G router covered the whole house with no issues. However, these days there is a lot of network competition in the area and being how I'm located in a court, I have a number of other homes surrounding my residence. I've been through probably eight routers and mesh systems in the last 10 years, trying to keep my home network operating correctly. As I've added additional items, like Echo devices, smart thermostats, Ring cameras, smart outlets, smart lighting and locks, I now have almost 60 devices on my home network. To get everything to work somewhat reliably I had an extender or two around the house. The worst offenders were the Ring cameras (junk) and my iPhone. Earlier this year I purchased a TP-Link AX11000 and centrally located it in the house. Initially things looked promising but that was short lived and I've struggled with disconnects and such since installation. Seeing as I could still return it to Costco, I decided to pull the trigger on the Amplifi Alien Mesh setup. While it's pricey, I figured if it didn't work, I'd just send it back to desertcart. When it arrives and you open the box, you can see the quality. The router and MeshPoint are quite large and extremely well packaged. Everything came across as highly professional and at that point I was hopeful for a positive experience. After installing the app and following the basic instructions, I was able to create my WIFI SSID to match my old router, change the subnet on the local network, provision port forwarding and the DHCP server scope. All very easy through the app. After a firmware update which the app initiated, my home network was up and running. I made a few tweaks here and there to the settings, including accessing the web based interface which allows you to enable/disable several additional options. All told, it was very easy to set up and configure. I placed the main router downstairs and put the MeshPoint upstairs, about 25-30 feet away. The app allows you to select the MeshPoint and you can immediately see your signal strength between both devices which is really nice. It even shows that on the main page of the app but it's a little easier to see when you select the MeshPoint directly. My signal strength was right about dead center in the green, so I left everything where it was. I've now had the setup for about five days and during those five days (with no extenders or any of that old crap I had to use to make things work) I've not had a single issue. This thing has ran like a top. My iPhone which I'd have to switch WIFI on/off several times per day because it would hang has been rock solid. Even my Ring cameras which would never work consistently with my past three setups (Nighthawk Router, Orbi Mesh and AX11000) work fine with the Amplifi Alien. Single strength around my property is quite good as well. The LCD on the router seemed like a gimmick at first, but it's nice that I can walk by and check the status very easily. If the router has issues, it will also tell you via the LCD display. I also like that you can click on your WIFI devices and it gives you an overall percent rating of connectivity. For example, my devices show a combined 87% signal strength and you can scroll through the screen easily to see which devices might have poor connectivity. None of my devices do which is a huge upgrade from the past. I paid full price for this setup and am only writing the review because finding something which worked here has been problematic. I would have preferred to solve the problem with less expense, but if everything continues to work then it's money well spent. I've not had the urge to throw my iPhone through the nearest wall in almost a week! That's a plus! In terms of cons, I'd say the lack of support for dynamic DNS updates is pretty glaring. I pay for NO-IP because my past two routers supported that, but in this product, none of the typical vendors are supported which I found odd. That's really about it IMO besides the price being a bit up there and availability of the kit from Amplifi. It was a bit of an impulse buy when I saw it on desertcart and in-stock, but I'm happy to report the purchase was well worth it. Update March 2022: No issues to report even though I’ve added more wireless devices. Everything continues to work as expected. I’ve applied routine firmware upgrades and that’s it. I have zero regrets. Update November 2025: I ran this system through March of 2025. At that point I replaced it with a more robust Unifi setup with five access points all hardwired at 2.5GBE. The Amplifi Alien served me well, but as more and more network saturation occurred, I started getting some random hiccups with connectivity. I know that some of these can suffer radio failures, but mine ran rock solid and still do when retired. I think the downside to this set up was the fact you couldn't source or add additional mesh points to it without buying another main router. The Unifi hardware and management is so flexible so I'm a little stumped why they made the hardware components fixed and not pairable. Overall, it's still a good setup, but I outgrew it with time.
Review: This modem is beautiful. Very easy to use. Strong, fast connection. I had two technical issues though. I had a Roku 3900CA I purchased a few years back. It is wifi 5 and wouldn’t connect to the Alien router despite all my best efforts. Problem number two is I bought a 50ft cat 6 cable to use as a wired backbone between the router and mesh point. It was unstable. It would randomly stop working and required reboot/fiddling with so I went back to wireless backbone which seems to work fine. I don’t regret the purchase but there were a few issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much ram does the amplifi alien router have?**
A: They do not detail this in any of the documentation or data on their website. however, you can find clear images of the RAM and NAND in the Internal Photos document of the FCC documentation package...

Next to the Qualcomm IPQ8074A SoC are two Micron 4Gbit DDR3 RAM chips with FBGA Code D9SHD = part# MT41K256M16TW-107:P
On the backside of the main PCB is a single Winbond W29N02GZSIBA 2Gbit NAND chip

So that should be 1GB of RAM and 256MB of NAND storage

**Q: Will this on Spectrum 1Gig Plan?**
A: It works great on Spectrum 200MBS, don't have the 1G plan (not available out here in the sticks).  200MBS everywhere in the house.   Exact same speeds as the computers that are connected via CAT 6.   First router failed, returned (after some monkey motion with Ubiquiti customer service).  Had to pay my own shipping back.  They replaced the unit and the second one has been rock solid.

**Q: Can you attach a security home base to the mesh poit**
A: It has some security software in it but I’m sure it would work. I have a ring and felt security light on it. The mesh point is a extension of the main router

**Q: Does this fully replace having a modem and router? I currently have two separate devices.**
A: This is router only so you will still need to have a modem.
