There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here are several tips from my original confusions and errors in setting up.
For adequate functionality of setting up one must use the Amplifi App on an iPad or iPhone, and to get it on an iPad one must search for iPhone only. (Apple Store's nomenclature). Bluetooth must be ON and working. Unknown to me at first, Bluetooth was not working on my iPad until I turned all restrictions to OFF.
There are two basic pieces of equipment for an AmpliFi Mesh Wi-Fi System. A CUBE called an “AmpliFi HD Mesh Router”, and a STICK called an “AmpliFi MeshPoint HD” also known as a “wireless super mesh point”. The CUBE looks like a clock and has a power adaptor on a cord which plugs into wall receptacle of 110 volt AC power. The STICK plugs directly into such a wall receptacle.
There are two functions needed for a system. Function 1 is Router with Internet Connection which can only be accomplished with the CUBE. A short Ethernet cable goes from the CUBE’s blue rj47 receptacle (with icon of a globe) to a cable modem which provides internet service from a cable company. Start with CUBE #1 which gets setup as Router with Internet Connection.
Function 2 is Mesh Point -- a point of wireless connections. CUBE #1 provides both Functions 1 and 2. It is the both Router with Internet Connection and also the first Mesh Point of the system. One will want extra Mesh Points placed strategically to make a wider area of Wi-Fi service than that afforded by CUBE #1 alone. The extra mesh points may be either CUBEs or a STICKs or a mixture because their wireless function is the same. However, if one wants to extend a network from CUBE #1 to a place beyond wireless reach, one does that with Ethernet cable to another CUBE. The long Ethernet cable called “backbone” or “backhaul” goes to the blue rj47 jack of CUBE #2. Avoid my initial error of using a non-blue jack. Use the App toggle switch to designate CUBE #2 as dedicated for “backbone” use. It will communicate with CUBE #1 by Ethernet cable and it also becomes a Mesh Point where it is located. One may then place more Mesh Points about the areas of CUBEs #1 and #2 as needed.
Before trying to use CUBE #2 for backbone use, place it in wireless range of CUBE #1 and set it up by (1) connecting to the Wi-Fi system and (2) updating the firmware of all items in the system. The firmware update is easy to do and, in my experience, necessary because the toggle for backbone use did not show up in the App until after the firmware update. The older reviews complaining of no “backbone” function are out of date. The current firmware has that function included. I found that I needed to turn the backbone toggle of #2 to ON before moving #2 out of wireless range of #1 and connecting the Ethernet from #1 to the blue jack of #2.
My HP network printer worked immediately. To get my HP scanner to send to a network folder I had to tell Windows 10 that the Amplifi network is private, Windows had incorrectly guessed that it was public and that prevented scanning to my network folder. Also, Windows 10 will not work with an older network scanner unless one go to Windows "programs and features" and turns SMB1 to ON.
When receiving messages from the App or the screen on the CUBE as to what one is doing incorrectly, believe them to be true. The CUBE told me when I failed to connect to the correct jack (blue) for “back bone”. The App warned me when I was trying to use an incorrect procedure for adding additional mesh points. It is easy when one gets used to it, and tech support is available if needed. Searching Google for help also works well.
I did my research and read lots of reviews and settled on a setup consisting of two Amplifi HD Wifi routers to be used as mesh wifi access points only (not as a router). After over a full year of service, I've had no issues that required anything more than a reboot of the device to solve and I can count the number of times I've had to reboot for an issue on one hand. My routing is handled by the Residential Gateway (modem\router) provided by my ISP. I've disabled the wifi in the ISP modem and I use two HD routers as mesh points. The coverage is great, the speed is great, and the reliability is the greatest of them all.
My review doesn't have any stars included for tech support because I've never had a need or the opportunity to use Amplifi's tech support. Setting up the mesh points with the app is intuitive and easy. You see a notification on the display screen when an update is available and you press the button when you're ready to apply it.
The design of the device is beautiful, the features are what I want and need, and I've helped my family setup their own Amplifi mesh wifi in their homes as well. Their experience has been the same as mine. It worked out of the box and continues to work with almost no effort on the part of the user.
I suppose the best compliment I can pay to these devices is that my wife told me a few months ago "you don't fiddle with the wifi anymore" and I replied "I KNOW, Its freakin' great!".
I opted for the router only, as our home isn't huge. The router is downstairs in the basement on one corner of the house, and we did have spotty coverage with our Arris all-in-one at the far ends of the second floor. I knew that if the coverage didn't improve with the Amplifi, I could add an additional MeshPoint over that way to improve things. Looks like I don't need one, as the signal is much better with the Amplifi.
Installation was a breeze - put the old modem/router combo in bridge mode, unbox the Amplifi router, plug it into the modem, and power it up. Nothing hard there. Configuration was a snap as well. I went on my desktop and was redirected to a setup page as soon as I pulled up my browser. Didn't even need to put in the IP address for the router, which I already pulled, figuring I would need it. The setup page asked for my WiFi SSID and password, and that was it - I was up and running! I couldn't find any additional config options on the webpage (like enabling the guest network) and then I finally figured out that you HAVE to use the app to configure anything at all.
The app is well done, easy to understand, and pretty basic, but does the job nicely. I was able to use the app to turn on and configure the Guest network and make a few other tweaks. I did link it with my google account so I can check up on things remotely, which is a cool touch.
We are on a 150/10 cable connection, and we're getting every bit of it on wired and wireless connections, with no dropouts. We have about 20 IoT devices (smart light switches, outlets, TVs, Echos, etc) all on the guest network, while all computers and phones go on the regular network. Guest isolation seems good, and haven't seen any issue with that.
As an added bonus, the Amplifi hardware looks fantastic! It doesn't look like some crazy space ship with antennas everywhere. It looks like it was designed to look nice sitting in your home. The screen on front is cool - being able to see the time, instant bandwidth usage, overall data sent/received, etc is pretty cool too. I'm sure the novelty of that will wear off eventually, but it's a great looking piece of equipment, and the screen really tops it off.

L'ho comprato dopo una vita con router solo netgear. Ultimamente con tutti i dispositivi che si sono decuplicati in casa, tv, pc, cell, tablet ecc... anche se avevo un router super veloce con estensioni, faticava molto. Ho voluto cambiare con WIFI Mesh Ubiquiti, anche dietro consiglio di altri e dopo una mia ampia documentazione. Avevo timore di aver gettato i soldi, ma devo dire che è stata una scelta ottima. Semplicissima l'istallazione, in pratica per me ha fatto tutto da solo. Attaccato al Router telecom, che funge da interfaccia con la linea adsl (la fibra da me non arriva per ora Anche se il router telecom è già predisposto per la fibra, router telecom disattivato per wifi e tutto il resto. Attivo solo come interfaccia con la linea). Ha sostituito tutti i canali con uno solo, semplicissimo da gestire con un App (Androind per me) molto facile da usare e completa. Si collega subito con tutti dispositivi, anche al secondo piano (casa su tre piani con cemento armato). Il terzo piano viene raggiunto, incredibilmente, da un segnale basso (con tutti gli altri router netgear proprio non arrivava). Lo consiglio a tutti. La prossima speda è l'estender Ubiquiti. per coprire tutta la casa con un segnale forte. Almeno per la mia casa basta questo più un solo estender per coprire tutto con un segnale potente. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi vuole sostituire il reuter tradizionale. P.S.: ho deciso di staccarmi (a malincuore) da netgear (con cui ho passato una vita. Ho avuto solo Netgear sempre) ad oggi anche sentendo un'amico che ha detto che con la wifi mesh netgear ha avuto dei problemi. Sono contento del mio acquisto.
