Ubiquiti Amplifi 4-Ports Home Wi-Fi System AFI HD Wireless Router with 2 pin European plug

If ever there was anything that proves that you really do get what you pay for then this is it! Having 200meg Virgin broadband but being fed up with slow, unreliable WiFi around the house, despite having various access points installed (3 AP + the main router). I decided to research in to many mesh systems and having narrowed it down to the final 2 and speaking to an IT technician at my workplace. The decision was made to take the plunge and buy myself the AMPLIFI Home HD mesh system. Never spending so much on a router before, I was apprehensive but something had to be done to put an end to the constant family WiFi frustrations! So here we are 3 months in without a single complaint of drop out or slow speed. Absolute bliss! I have the main router in my lounge and to be fair, even before adding the 2 APs included in the kit, the WiFi coverage was solid and much better than my old setup. With an AP located in my back lounge this gives solid, fast WiFi everywhere in the garden as well! With the 2nd AP placed in a bedroom at the front of the house we now have amazing coverage everywhere around the house! To give you an idea of the size of the coverage area my home is a 4 bedroom with 3 downstairs reception rooms, kitchen and my loft is converted to an office. There’s 5 adults in the house with mobile phones, smart TVs, Xbox, PS5, so there’s always something being streamed and gaming taking place. Setup was very easy and the instructions were easy to follow, although I do have some knowledge of setting up networks. But shouldn’t be a problem for most people. So in conclusion. Yes, the £300+ price is more than some of the other available systems but in terms of overall value for money for the quality you get, I cannot recommend this enough!!! One thing you could try before opting for the full kit is to purchase the router first and see how your coverage is without the APs. Individual APs are available to purchase and you can then build up your system to suit your home/building. This works out slight more expensive but could save you money if you don’t need 2 APs.

I bought ubiquity as I was having problems with Sonos over tplink. I am in a period house with some areas that receive a bad signal or not at all. I needed a single mesh network rather than multiple ones where I would have to disconnect and reconnect in diff. rooms. This was recommended to me by a colleague and after doing the research, although people have objections about the look of the extenders, it is in summary the most powerful out there. The look of the main base unit is amazing though - has a clock , you can control the light and even though I care about the technology, I am impressed by the design. I bought the pack with the main router and the two extenders. I was told that the main router is very powerful and I may not need the extenders but I wanted to get this sorted so went for the bigger pack. It is true that the main unit just about covered the whole house (3 story) with no extenders. The dead spots where no longer dead. I added the extenders to make the signal more powerful. Something I was nervous about and could not find answers for easily and it’s worth covering here: I have a BT home hub I needed to connect this to and everything I had read before pointed to the fact that the BT home hub does not have a modem only configuration - and indeed it does not. This means it does not have a configuration where it only provides the internet and leaves the routing work to ubiquity. The BT home hub would also create its own network and route data around. On this basis I was fully expecting the setup to be complicated. I read lots of articles and forum replies before even trying, but setup was a breeze. It just works! So if you are happy to connect the main unit by cable to bt home hub, then you are sorted - it just works! If you want to be tidy you can switch off the wireless transmission on the bt home hub but you don’t have to. Ubiquity will create its own separate network. If you want to have a wireless connection between the main unit and your bt home hub then that’s when it gets complicated. There is an article out there that explains how but I have not tested as I did not want the hastle. From a cost perspective also note it’s possibly at the top of the range but whereas with other brands you may need base unit and extenders, this base unit is so powerful that it can be sufficient on its own and therefore a cost saving too. Enjoy! This is an excellent product - the most powerful but at the top of the range form a cost basis.

Did quite a bit of research before choosing the AmplifiHD system and overall so far happy with the choice. Looks smart and simple to setup and I think with the expensive price tag. Wifi signal is good and so far only using one of the two mesh points that come with the main router. The 4 Lan ports that come in the main router are also a big selling point for me. However, was annoyed and disappointed to find that you can't specify the private IP address of the router - it defaults to .1 of any network address you set. So if you set your network as 192.168.100.0/24, then it will set itself as 192.168.100.1. This is fine for new networks, but if you have an existing network with other servers and happen to use .1 as it's IP address, then you have to change your existing server's address for things to work properly. on my network, .1 is the address of the ESXI host carrying 4 VM's (including my FREENAS server which also runs PLEX media server..) This meant hours of reconfiguring which was pretty annoying. So one star docked for not having something as basic as bring able to fully configure and specify the IP address of the router. Ubiquity have said they will refer this to their development team but no idea whether this will be done anytime soon. Kudos though for a quick response from Ubiquity when using the chat function...

He esperado casi un año para escribir esta opinión, para poder hablar con propiedad sobre el producto. Bien, decir que ha cumplido de sobra las expectativas, barajé muchas otras posibilidades a la hora de montar mi red mesh y me decanté por esta sobretodo por su diseño y por la confianza que tengo en la marca ubiquiti. El diseño es precioso en comparación a cualquier otro dispositivo de su categoría. La facilidad de instalación hace de este dispositivo una muy buena opción para cualquier tipo de usuario, teniendo en cuenta que también dispone de configuraciones avanzadas para usuarios más exigentes. El alcance que ofrece y la cobertura de señal es bastante buena, teniendo en cuenta que está destinado a un uso doméstico y no profesional. El software de gestión del dispositivo, aunque simple, funciona a la perfección. Algo a tener en cuenta, es el servicio postventa al cliente, ya que a través de la app tiene acceso a un chat las 24h del día en el cual resuelven las dudas y ayudan con todo tipo de instalación. Solo decir que después de comprar el kit de dos satélites y router, quedé tan contento que he comprado otro router independiente y un satélite más. Ahora jardín y vivienda completa tiene wifi en toda la parcela sin ninguna zona oscura. Aunque el precio puede echar para atrás en un primer momento, comprarlo me ha evitado muchos dolores de cabeza...

I purchased this device to help my dad with his home network. He currently has a very low-end D-Link router and several other issues that limit his current network. His home is all brick, it has a very unusual layout that includes a giant brick chimney running through the middle of the house, it has plaster walls, and he has a wireless camera system that absolutely destroys the 2.4 ghz band. I have some experience with Ubiquiti hardware in my house so I thought I would give this a try since the UniFi line performs so well for me. First, setup is a breeze and very comparable to consumer wifi gear. Unlike most consumer wifi gear, Ubiquiti (and Amplifi) update their products fairly regularly. For this reason I recommend updating the firmware as soon as you connect the device to your network. I think I clicked on the image of the mesh point in the app to get the menu and selected "check for updates". If not just play around...it is pretty intuitive. Second, move the mesh point around a lot. I tried 4-5 plugs in his house before I was completely satisfied with the results. Once I found the ideal plug, I received very little benefit from moving the antenna around on the base. Once everything was set up I was able to reach the limits of his internet service speed at the mesh point. The Amplifi did not solve the 2.4 ghz interference problem but I really did not expect it to since the mesh point was not really designed to work with D-Link crap. The situation is not ideal for a wireless network of any kind but I was very happy with the result and the ability to extend the network to the back part of the house. I did have a question during setup and used the chat feature on the Amplifi website. I received help immediately and my question was answered (there was no queue for help). Ultimately I would be better off running CAT6 and putting UniFi access points in his house, but this seems like it will work for now and improve his coverage in previously dead areas. I should have purchased the AmpliFi router as well to replace the D-Link but I will save that project for another day. Update: I tinkered with my D-Link router settings and am even more impressed with this Amplifi device now. Solved the interference problem almost completely by reducing the power on the 2.4 band to low and left the 5 ghz on high. The Amplifi was/is using 5 ghz as the backbone and rebroadcasts on both 2.4 and 5. The result is a very stable network (on both bands) in a part of the house that never had coverage in the past. The Amplifi has done a significantly better job of dealing with the camera interference than the D-Link ever did.

What's great about this product is that it does not require desk space, is easy to set up, and works with other routers (Linksys in my case), and not just with Amplifi products.

Ottimo prodotto, sotto tutti i punti di vista.

Installer dans la maison pour couvrir deux étages, garage, bureau et un jardin. Cela fonctionne parfaitement. Aprs savoir trouver les meilleurs emplacmenents pour les antennes c'est un plaisir et avec le control je peux voir qui est connecté et controler les appareils des petits et leur donner des plages horaires d'utlisation.
