I did over two months of research on Mesh networks before purchasing one. Initially, I was concentrating on the more familiar ones I had heard of: the Lynksys Velop, Netgear Orbi, Eero, Google, etc. I researched them all extensively and while reading a review of the Orbi on Amazon, I saw mention of the Ubiquity Amplifi HD system. I had never heard of it but it then became part of my research project into Mesh systems. As my research continued, the Amplifi HD System was looking better and better. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the fact that it is less expensive than the others, and the concept looked like a good idea. The Mesh points plug directly into an outlet with no cord. The electrical plug is part of the device itself. So it can be out of mind, out of site. No need for table space for your mesh points. Also, the hardware itself is beautifully designed. The 2nd thing that I noticed was that almost all of the reviews on Amazon and elsewhere were positive. (at the time it was 4 ½ stars average of 408 reviews on Amazon) And any reviews or posts by people having problems showed that they were contacted by the company who was either offering advice on how to resolve the problem or asking the user to contact them so they could resolve any issues personally. The point being; the company (Ubiquity) had responded to anyone who was having problems or was not happy with the system. This showed me that the company cared and wanted to support those who were having problems. This was very important to me. Of course I visited their website and soaked it all in. But I had specific questions I needed answered before I deciding on a Mesh System. While at the Amplifi website I started a chat with them. The wait was less than 30 seconds. My questions were specific and were answered specifically. The support was fast, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I probably contacted them 3 or 4 times (sometimes very late at night) before making any decision. The support was exceptional in each and every chat I had with them. And this is a large part of the reason I went with Amplifi HD over the Orbi, Linksys, etc. But not the only reason. After all, performance is the main ingredient everyone is looking for. When the system arrived from Amazon, I quickly unpacked it began setting it up. (Even the packaging was beautiful!) I had seen a video on YouTube where “Pan The Organizer” did a complete Amplifi HD set up and I thought, "why use the manual?" The video is great and gives you all the information you need to set up the Amplifi HD system. I highly recommend it. So, basically I set up the router, gave it a name, password, etc. using the Android app, and connected it to the internet. At that point, essentially, I was done. I plugged one of the Mesh points into the wall upstairs and away from the router and it connected automatically. No fuss, no muss. Same thing when I plugged in the 2nd mesh point. So, after you get the router set up, the rest of the system basically sets itself up. Plug in the mesh points and after a few seconds they work perfectly. Next I gave my mesh points names so I knew which was which while working with the Android app. The app is straight forward, quick to respond, and easy to use. I was able to see all of the devices that were on my network, what each devices mac address was, whether they were on a wireless or Ethernet connection, what mesh point they were attached to, and about anything else you would want to know. You can also give each network device it's own name making it very easy to know what is what. (I have 23 devices both wireless and Ethernet, on my network) Guest network set up was also a breeze and it's very flexible allowing you to set times you want it on or off. Of course there's an option to have it always on or always off. You can limit the number of guests, see who they are, and what mesh point they are connected to. The system uses both 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz bands. You can walk through your house with your device and the system will automatically switch from one mesh point to the other or to the router itself, depending on which signal is stronger at your location. It will also automatically switch from 5Ghz to 2.4Ghz as necessary when your distance from a mesh point (or the router) is too far. So, one SSID and seamless wireless transfer from point to point to point. After getting the system set up I had a few additional questions for the support team. Again, I received great service each time. And I did not find anything I wanted to do with the system that could not be done. In essence, I saw no real flaws at all nor have I since. And new features are being added via automatic firmware updates. OK, it sounds like I work for the company and that this may be one of those “fake” reviews. Nope! As you can see, I am a verified purchaser and I assure you, I do not work for this company or any tech company. I am retired, curmudgeony musician and computer geek in Minnesota that has purchased many computer products that were disappointing. So, when something like this comes along and exceeds my expectations and the company does this same, I am delighted. Thus I have given this system the 5 stars it deserves. Everything from the product itself, to the design, the packaging, the support, and the company website is 1st class. And I've now had it set up for 3 months and reliability and performance have been flawless. I have had zero problems and have not had to re-boot the system even once. Am I trying to sell this product? Well, as I had not heard of this or the company for the first several weeks I was looking at mesh systems, I realized that it was buried under a lot of very visible products from the major, very visible companies doing consumer and home wireless systems. But this may have been the best of the bunch, and nobody I know had heard of it! So yes, I am. And while I'm sure that a number of these other systems are very good, most all are more expensive than the Amplify HD system. So, as you can see, it's very hard for me to say anything negative about this product. But don't take my word for it. Do the research, visit the website and the websites of the other mesh products, contact the company, compare it to its competition, read unbiased reviews here and elsewhere. Yes, there are differences. But I found this system did everything I wanted and more, and the price was great!.

** I reserve the right update my review if the Amplifi HD goes bad but so far it's been perfect. ** I was convinced my home was built over an Indian burial ground. The native American's hated networks and WiFi. I had literally been through six routers in two years. After reading 100's of router reviews I'd take a chance and purchase a new router. Always high-end equipment. I was positive Amazon would refuse to sell me any more routers because I returned so many. Thank you Amazon for understanding my plight. Gave up on Netgear because (3) of my routers either ran 10x slower, dropped connections, or flat out failed following firmware updates. Lost a R7000, R8000, and XR500. I never plan on buying another Netgear router. I truly believe Netgear pushes out new firmware to break your router so you will need to replace it. Had been running DD-WRT on a XR500 (DumaOS is a sick joke) but it was a hack DD-WRT so router limped along still requiring daily reboots. Next tried (3) TP-Link routers (AC5400, C5400x). GUI would hang, would not give out new IP's. 2.4GHz radio would randomly shut off throughout the day. 2-3 reboots per day. No thanks. Next Synology RT2600AC. All good except hardwired Ethernet ports kept dropping my VOIP every 10-30 seconds. Support offered no help even though I sent in all logs and reports showing VOIP coming and going. RJ45 ports unusable. Next ASUS GT-AC11000. 2.4GHz radio would cut out every 2-3 minutes. Clients would not stay connected and some would not connect at all. Sent it back. Okay, another month of research and decided on the Amplifi HD. A mesh for me? Had I lost my mind? I was that desperate. And for all those online videos where people gush over the physical design and even how nice the cardboard packaging box is... ugh. I don't care if the hardware looks like a busted toaster at the landfill. I just need it to work. ** I'm a hardware IT professional with >30 yrs experience. I've installed and managed 1,000's of machines and networks. But when I come home I don't want to be bothered troubleshooting my equipment daily. ** My home network contains ~120 network-attached devices, albeit load average is low. Nothing a quality router should have trouble with. The Amplifi HD installed very easily but I must report the first system I installed had a defective mesh point so I sent everything back for a new system. 2nd system installed easily and all three components are functioning properly. It's only been online for ~18 hours but that's 17.5 hours longer than any of my other routers lasted. I did call Amplifi tech support with questions about separating 2.4 and 5 networks and port forwarding. The rep was AMAZINGLY helpful. I'm mean shockingly knowledgeable! Bravo to Ubiquity for such high quality phone support. I'm still wondering if it was a dream. I'm old school IT so managing a router via mobile app was weird as heck. I REALLY need a PC/web based interface to be happy... That said, it was so simple, a MAC person could do it... (it's just a joke). Also, the reason I needed a PC/web interface is because I was troubleshooting my old routers daily. But if the Amplifi just keeps working, I can just forget it - and that's the way IT should be. I have many other things here to play with instead of routers ; ). Like a car, you should be able to just "get in it and go". No fiddling under the hood. - WiFi range is very good with the router and (2) mesh points. But 20K sq' might be a stretch unless you're in a warehouse with no walls. - Performance is excellent on my LAN. Not concerned with the WAN because my ISP is so terrible I'm embarrassed to report my service rate. - Installation is very simple. But I did take the time to change the default IP range and a few other settings. Would like web access but I realize I'm a dying breed. - When creating a second SSID, the app forces a -2g or -5g name extension. They need to fix that. Don't tack on anything to our SSID name. - Reliability. Yep, this is the big one. Just work man! And so far, it's working. Yes this review is early in the game but I had to write something due to my horrible experiences with so many dreadful routers. Hopefully I can now cancel some of my psychiatrist sessions.

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...

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.

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.

A great wifi system that, whilst not cheap, is truly easy to set up, bulletproof and works really well. After years of struggling with Netgear and Billion networks, changing networks at the other end of the house, it's a real pleasure to use such an easy to configure and reliable MESH network

Parto dal mio problema: la mia abitazione è posta su due piani: un piano terra ed una mansarda, entrambi di circa 70 mq. Caso vuole che che il Modem/Router di Telecom Fibra sia posizionato in Mansarda, e che di conseguenza la copertura WiFi non raggiunga tutti i locali nel piano interiore. E’ un problema di cui ho sofferto a lungo, e per cui ho cercato rimedio affidandomi a diversi soluzioni di Network Extender basati su diverse tecnologie (via rete elettrica oppure come amplificatore della WiFi), ma nessuna si è rivelata efficace, sia per stabilità, che per prestazioni e per un aspetto che non mi è mai piaciuto, ossia di dover creare una seconda SSID per il piano inferiore, quando invece io volevo avere una sola WiFi cui fare riferimento. Detto questo, facendo qualche ricerca, sono incappato in Ubiquity, un’azienda specializzata in dispositivi di connessione wireless soprattutto per il campo industriale, quindi access points per esterni, strutture alberghiere e luoghi pubblici, antenne di trasmissione radio ed altro ancora, e che recentemente a prodotto una linea di prodotti Soho per il mercato consumer, AmpliFi, dalle caratteristiche che mi hanno subito interessato. Il prodotto in questione, AmpliFi, è un router WiFi a cui si può associare, per estenderne la portata, dei Mesh Point, ossia delle antenne radio bastate sulla tecnologia Mesh. Partiamo dall'unboxing: il prodotto da me preso è l’edizione con due antenne in dotazione, ma si può naturalmente anche prendere solo il Router ed una o più antenne a seconda delle necessità. La confezione è degna di un prodotto Apple, e sembra fatta più per un articolo di design che non per un oggetto di tecnologia: curatissima, robusta, elegante, davvero un peccato quasi non doverla utilizzare in altri momenti. L’aspetto dell’eleganza e della cura del design non si ferma alla confezione, ma prosegue anche nei prodotti veri e propri: il router è un piccolo cubo bianco su cui si trova, su un lato un bellissimo display rotondo LCD a colori, che reagisce al tocco, su cui visualizzare varie informazioni od attivare determinate funzioni, mentre sulla faccia opposta si trovano le connessioni: 4 porte Gigabit Ethernet, una porta per il collegamento al modem, una porta USB e quella di alimentazione. A mio avviso, e si evince penso anche dalle foto, è forse uno dei pochi Router che si ha voglia di far vedere invece che di nascondere: la luminosità del display è tarabile a piacere, può anche essere programmato nella sua accensione e spegnimento, ed in aggiunta c’è anche una luce bianca, anch’essa personalizzabile, alla base del cubo: davvero un bel oggetto. Il display può mostrare diverse informazioni, come la velocità di connessione, la quantità di traffico, le porte utilizzate, l’orario ed altro semplicemente toccandolo ciclicamente. Installazione: niente di più facile. Colleghi il cavo di rete dal Modem al Router, lo accendi, e lanci l’App dedicata su iOS o Android, ed questa ti guida attraverso semplici passi a configurare il tuo AmpliFi. Aggiungo che anche l’App è fatta benissimo, come usabilità e come eleganza nel design. Attraverso questa puoi successivamente anche configurare le antenne Mesh, verificare la potenza del segnale, nominare rete e antenne, controllare l’utilizzo della rete da parte dei dispositivi (ottimo per bloccare per esempio l’uso della rete ai tuoi figli), definire una rete ospiti con accesso temporizzato, ed altre chicche ancora. Le antenne sono costituite da due elementi: una base che contempla la presa a muro (sono Shuko, da tener presente) e il corpo dell’antenna che si aggancia alla base attraverso un perno magnetico, che ne permette l’orientamento, questo perchè la potenza del segnale è tanto più forte quanto più l'antenna è orientata nella direzione del Router (l’App ti segnala in ogni caso l’intensità, per cui basta fare qualche semplice prova). Conclusioni: a me ha risolto brillantemente il problema che avevo, fornendomi una copertura WiFi al massimo delle prestazioni della rete di cui dispongo in tutti gli angoli più remoti della mia abitazione su due piani, e questo senza dover definire due reti WiFi distinte (quella del Modem/Router Telecom l’ho spenta). Nel mio caso è stato sufficiente l’utilizzo di una sola antenna. Pro: Alta qualità costruttiva Eccellenti prestazioni Il primo Router che fa arredo per livello di design App di configurazione e gestione fatta come Dio comanda Installazione a prova di chiunque per semplicità Copertura totale Contro Le antenne non sono così eleganti come il Router La presa Shuko può essere un problema, obbliga a cambiare la presa a muro o a usare un adattatore Costoso (306€ per il Bundle con due antenne), ma mi sento di dire che vale quello che costa
