I totally understand what you are talking about internet speed. I had a 10mbit speed until about a year ago. Now I have 400/200 Mbit(50/25mb) and it's just incredible.
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.
I think it really depends on what you're using the internet for. As for me, since I download and upload big project files, I kinda at least need to have 300mbps with me 🤣
We use Ubiquiti products for all of our APs and routers at work and we love them. I currently use their EdgeRouter X and older green AP at home and it's great. Tried using just their AmpliFi HD router standalone since my apartment isn't that big and had issues. I'd love to try the Alien at some point.
Good video. Seems like almost as good as the Orbi WiFi 6 I bought. I am getting speeds on a non WiFi 6 phone of 630 mbps and on my Galaxy S10 WiFi 6 phone I have topped out at 808 mbps. Only thing is the Alien has only a gig wan. Orbi 6 has a 2.5 wan gig capabilities. Alien still seems like a solid choice though.
I'm surprised how much people in the comments don't have these kinds of speeds yet. This is not new and most plans are very affordable.. Anyhow, the device you bought yourself is very nice. Might be treating myself to one of these in the near future!
I went from having 1000/1000 connection to sharing a 10mb while staying with family before moving into a new house, you can be certain I got the fastest I could with 300 when we eventually moved in! 😂
Does the sheer raw speed of the Alien outweigh the potential disadvantage of no dedicated backhaul between the router and the Mesh node? Just wondering how this compares to both the Netgear Orbi 6 and the new BT Premium Home Wifi which have a dedicated backhaul channel?
It was on available 2 days ago on there website you have to check on it I order minds once it was available theygo fast one day later there where sold out.
Do you know what the speed would be from your living room without using the mesh point and simply using just the main router? I am curious how the speeds from the main router are over longer distances. Thanks!
How are u even getting 300mbs on the old amplifi hd? Did u have it in bridge mode? I am only getting like 100mbs even right next to router. I have 1gb internet as well
Hi I wanted to know how did you get this product I was trying to buy this from the UI store but does allow me to purchase through Europe. Did you buy it from the US store?
I can only dream of getting those kinds of speeds, just checked my wifi 4.99 Mbps (download) and 14.9 Mbps (upload). Clearly, my Virgin fibre broadband isn't all that.
Wow! All I can say is wow! Great content. Amplifi alien 👍🏾🙂 Btw can you link me the wheels you purchased from Amazon for your Besta white cabinet? - Thank you sir.
I’ll be frank with you buddy there is no plans at all for amplifi to bring the alien to the uk ... the market is to small for them for make a large enough profit, I’m guessing he purchased it from eBay for probs £400 not including import tax from some guy in the USA. Wi-fi 6 is not the standard very few devices support it. I have a 1GB line and using the google nest router over Wi-fi and on a iPhone 11 getting just over 500mb. Unless you are trying to add a few hundred devices to your network save your money
@@1m_megapixels "I’ll be frank with you buddy there is no plans at all for amplifi to bring the alien to the uk" - Sorry, but who the hell are you? This is completely inaccurate information. I work for the largest Ubiquiti supplier in the UK and they are definitely bringing the Alien to the UK - a little late, sure, but it is coming and is already on their EU store. Please can you keep your unsubstantiated "advice" to yourself. SMH.
what model iPhone are you using? I'm confused why you would get such low speeds on the previous system. You shouldn't be getting that low unless you've skewed with some settings to make it perform lower.
I have 1gb download and upload, but when you have a family of 6 and multiple devices on the network, it can be a pain especially when on zoom; it consumes so much bandwith!
It depends; if the speed your are paying for is 5mb/s then no. This won’t improve the signal from your ISP. However if you pay for a much higher speed and you are only getting 5mb/s then you will greatly benefit from a higher end Wi-fi router. If you have a vast area to cover like you mentioned, try looking at a mesh internet setup there’s plenty on systems out there that will do what you are looking for.
So we just got a 1gig internet in our 4000sqft smart home. Two stories and the router is on the second floor in the far right end of the house. Do you think the single alien router would reach the other end? Or should I get the duo pack?
I’ve had gigabit 1000/1000 for over 2 years now. Let me tell you this, my happiness level has not changed. 🤣
How have you got this??
I've had it for like 2 months and its amazing

wow nice!
Bro you’re the epitome of what I want to be career wise and esthetically. Currently in school to be a Visual Designer. I love it. Crispy content! 🔥
300 is good enough for anyone but if you paying for gig I would be salty too
That’s exactly how I feel, paying for a GIG, not getting a GIG, alien coming my way
ive been struggling with wifi speeds this video came right on time. thanks bro

Looks awesome. I can only dream of these speeds. "Super fast" around here is 35mb 😂
Have you considered a wired backhaul to the Mesh Point? That way you shouldn't have a drop in throughput when you're next to the Mesh Point.
I don't think I've ever seen you so excited in any of your videos but this
Hands down the best router to date other than no 10G ports and WiFi7. I wish they would make an updated version and keep the same looks exactly.
I was paying $23 last year for 8Mbps DOWN and
Pay about 40$/month for 1000/1000 in Denmark

I have two Alien Routers hooked up as a mesh network…best internet I’ve ever owned.
I went from having 1000/1000 connection to sharing a 10mb while staying with family before moving into a new house, you can be certain I got the fastest I could with 300 when we eventually moved in! 😂
At first glance i thought i read 'Making my WiFe Faster'... lol
Omg, best set up ever
Great video, Thank you.. Hey, in 3:52 you have a black chart with weels, where did you get it?
And here’s me with my 5mbps upload speed and he’s here for its 305 saying yep not quick enough
just discovered your channel, also never comment on youtube videos but im really enjoying watching your videos right now
I hope to see upload more consistently in the future.
the sounds it make reminds me of my IoT washing machine
Glad I got this router on Ebay for less than retail price. I get 600 up and 600 down right next to the router. 👍
Does the sheer raw speed of the Alien outweigh the potential disadvantage of no dedicated backhaul between the router and the Mesh node? Just wondering how this compares to both the Netgear Orbi 6 and the new BT Premium Home Wifi which have a dedicated backhaul channel?
😃 nice
Checks price 👀God Lord
🤔 I wait for the price to come down
Me: looking at this guy saying good at 353 MHz and 5 ping let’s switch it around for me 353 ping and 5 mhz
Are you still using the Keychron? I notice it's been relegated to the back :(
Awesome! But how did you managed to get your hands on one? Every time I look their sold out :/
It was on available 2 days ago on there website you have to check on it I order minds once it was available theygo fast one day later there where sold out.
Whats the name of the song you were playing in the back ground during set up (5:31)?
Your videos are amazing. Keep it up. I can see the effort you put in.
Do you know what the speed would be from your living room without using the mesh point and simply using just the main router? I am curious how the speeds from the main router are over longer distances. Thanks!
i have a single unit of this router, it reaches my living room upstairs with about 600-700 down
“Ooh it makes some fancy sounds not gonna lie“ 😂
Oliur could you do an update on the Alien Router if you’re still using it please, thanks!
Nice Video and quite interesting Tech, but where did you get this awesome shelf in your living room from?
How are u even getting 300mbs on the old amplifi hd? Did u have it in bridge mode? I am only getting like 100mbs even right next to router. I have 1gb internet as well
Did this system come with a UK plug OR or did you have to buy an adapter or different power cable?!
Just wish our mobile data can have that kind of speed anywhere in the world.
Does this support digital voice? Does it have wps button so I can pair the digital phone handset?
Hi Oliur,
I was looking at getting the Alien as a replacement for my Nest Wifi. How has it been holding up for you? Any issues?
And here in Belgium we pay like th most for internet and are limited to 150 mbs on line and have an average of 65mbs...
Question, will the WIfi/LAN still work without an active internet connection? I am wondering as I am looking to use this in a mobile solution.
Hi
I wanted to know how did you get this product I was trying to buy this from the UI store but does allow me to purchase through Europe. Did you buy it from the US store?
wow man looks really cool
is this compatible with verizon or do u not need a specific internet provider to work this
You still releasing your book?
Does the system or devise have a fan built-in so while you have it on it does not overheat the device?
how haas this got a dislike already
I can only dream of getting those kinds of speeds, just checked my wifi 4.99 Mbps (download) and 14.9 Mbps (upload). Clearly, my Virgin fibre broadband isn't all that.
what are your plans with the old Amplifi system?
so does this increase your speed? If i have 1gb download speeds, will it increase the speed of that as well?
Where can I buy this Router? Its sold out everywhere... also - its not the Router that is Limited, it is your Phone with a 2x2 Antenna Setup.
Who is your ISP for gigabit wifi ?
Wow! All I can say is wow! Great content. Amplifi alien 👍🏾🙂 Btw can you link me the wheels you purchased from Amazon for your Besta white cabinet?
- Thank you sir.
Did you use the same server to test both Routers? If not then these tests prove nothing.
Hi did you have to buy this from the states? Did you also have to use a USA to Gb plug adapter for the power lead. Many thanks
Do u need fibre installed to use amplify alien
2.Can i use Amplifi Alien in remote locations Plz answer
@Oliur Would it be possible to use this product with Sky? Could I swap out their router with that or what? Hope you can get back to me!
Idk if you’ll see this but what the range of this router? I live in a 5 bed 2 story house, if the range and match the house id be interested.
I’m in a 4 bed 2 story and it works great for me. 1300sqft.
Do they not make the alien anymore
if i get a sky deal with 56mbps, and i buy this router will it still work correctly. or do i need a deal that allows those bigger numbers?
Great video thank you! See you're in the UK - where did you source your Alien router, as they seem impossible to buy in Eu or UK (as of June 2020)?
I’ll be frank with you buddy there is no plans at all for amplifi to bring the alien to the uk ... the market is to small for them for make a large enough profit, I’m guessing he purchased it from eBay for probs £400 not including import tax from some guy in the USA.

Connor Gaston iPhone 11 pro
So who’s the service provider when you use this device?
What internet provider does this work with? This download speeds are insane
you said you use Plex... What Plex NAS do you recommend
fam, on a good day i have 20mbs
Can you connect the second unit up as a directly connected access point?
yes
What’s the size of your house?
Who is your internet provider?
i swear to my life the best net speed u get in my house is 16MB on a very good day wtih a lan cable
How much for the hole system ?
Nothing is gonna work if your internet service provider has a cap on your speed lol.
gigabit internet, how does one quantify purchasing gigabit internet? I never really notice a difference between 100 mbps and gigabit internet.
So, is this a modem/ router or strictly wifi?
My internet speed is 360p youtube video 😌
Which ISP are you using? Video in itself?
i there, which ISP are you using?
we have in australia NBN 40 MB/s. Looking at your speed is like 20 times faster its enough man. and 40 is more than enough for me here.
Hahaha my business runs 1gbps download and 1gbps upload. Its amazing, makes working super easy
Can the rj45 port on the mesh point be used for a wired backhaul?
Is there no way you can match router speeds with WiFi? Like you got 600 down, but wouldn’t There be a way to get the 900 through WiFi?
If it’s a fresh install router with no wireless devices connected you will obviously get better results
Does this replace for example bt Wi-fi
Great video!! Love your content.
who is the ISP providing you the gigabit line? does it have to be a business account?
Pryda call flow is the ISP selected areas only
I'm curious, does this allow speed management per device
eddyo1993 it has basic settings for this but for a more advanced level of QoS control you’ll be better off looking at the Ubiquiti dream machine.
@@alfiefogg1151 looks interesting. How would this compare to the Alien Router
Hi, can I use this in the UK. Currently only getting 36meg😢.
I need to buy one today
I have 1gb download and upload, but when you have a family of 6 and multiple devices on the network, it can be a pain especially when on zoom; it consumes so much bandwith!
What do you pay for gigabit connectivity? Why do you need gigabit? Why isn't 300Mbps suffice?
I would love to see what your actual usage is over 1 week or 1 month. Probably average like 20-50Mbps (during peak/evening usage).
Oliur what Internet provider are you using to get those speeds.
I thought Virgin 350mbps was the fastest
Any information would greatly be appreciated
Fiberoptic
Virgin are going up to 1000mbps in certain areas now, but upload speeds are only 50mbps
Best to do a postcode check on their website 👍
What’s your ISP?
350Mbs! Why are internet speeds in the UK so much better than the US?
i live out on a acreage and my Wfi isn't really good, at best i get 5mb/s, would this improve the signal?
It depends; if the speed your are paying for is 5mb/s then no. This won’t improve the signal from your ISP.
