Best tech purchase we have ever made

Set up was quick and easy. Base unit is attractive and small. Remote extenders are attractive and unobtrusive. Performance has been exceptional. We have tried multiple brands of "powerful" wireless routers that promised whole house WiFi. This is the first system I have used that resulted in ZERO complaints from my multi-tasking, constantly streaming family. My youngest son's room is on the third floor and our family room is on the first floor on completely opposite sides of the house. Our router is in the kitchen on the main floor. We get perfect signals every where without delays. All the Firesticks and Fire TV connections work without delays. The gaming consoles are wicked fast. Our Echo's are always connected. We finally have peace.

A top choice for most users. I love it.

I’ve been a bit of a paranoid tech geek for awhile. Mostly using Linksys and Asus routers that offer a great deal of control and security options. But compared to my last Asus ac router, the Amplifi HD just completely blew my mind. It’s true that I do not have the amount of config options with Amplifi, but honestly I didn’t really use all those anyway. Amplifi is awesome and if you want great speed and coverage, easy to use user interface, and a great looking router (that most people will not even know is a router), then buy this. I have the router in the middle of the house on the first floor (about 3500 sqft) and the sats on the opposite ends. Here is some before and after numbers: Close to main router (5 to 10 ft): Before - average 50 mb/s Amplifi - 120 mb/s Far ends of house on second floor: Before - approx 12 to 20 mb/s Amplifi - 75 to 90 mb/s Furthest point of back yard (about 50 yards from main router (150 feet)) : Before - zero to 2 mb/s Amplifi - 20 to 30 mb/s I have about 25 devices connected at any given time. I no longer have an issue with multiple things accessing at once. For example, we might be streaming music outside, watching a game in one room, streaming a kids flick in another, Xbox in another and have multiple mobiles connected doing whatever. Before it was awful, now it’s not even noticeable - I can have everything going and still get an uninterrupted stream on Hulu. I had looked hard at google Wi-Fi, Orbi, Velop and others. I’m glad I chose this - it’s awesome. Hope that helps someone decide.

An incredible and well thought out router that is not only a performance beast but beautiful

I am hugely impressed and am frankly blown away at the thoughtful design and implementation of this system. We have burned though routers in the past and I have tried just about every brand. This item stuck out not only because it uses a mesh technology but it is the first that does not have scattered boxes all over the place. Instead it uses these mesh points that you just plug into a wall so you don't need to mount them on a wall or place them on a shelf. We all have outlets through out our houses or offices. For this reason, installing the mesh points has no extra work. The base unit along with the mesh points are simply beautiful. The look is clean and fits nicely on a bookshelf in plain view. This differs from the ugly insect looking routers out there. Those you hide The Amplifi HD system, is a clean looking device and can comfortably sit in the open like a classy stereo system or a NEST thermostat. Setup was effortless and the APP for iPhone is the way to go. Just a few taps and you are good to go. Even better, the system, comes with a quick start guide in the box which is clearly written and guides you visually through the process of setup. Once the base station is setup, you simply plug in the mesh points and within a few moments they find the base station and your network is alive. On their website you can get access to the owners manual if you want to preview what is involved. The base station has a clear and well thought out touch screen. It is fun to watch the blue and cyan meters as the network is used and pushed with real-time content. From the touch screen there are other views that show data consumption, address information, and such. The app is really cool. From it, you can view and configure everything. You can check the heath of the network and even test it. A few taps and things that need static addresses can be setup. The system even proposes addresses that it knows are open so you don't need to over think it. It is possible to pause the internet for all or specific devices. It even gives a nice list of all the active devices, if they are on 5G or 2.4G, and the name/type of device it is. Great information and functionality at your fingertips. I am glossing over the top things but it can do more Performance has been seriously breathtaking. No lags, hiccups, buffers,... of any kind. I have a reliable internet connection and my old router had all of this. Even worse, you had to drop to 2.4G depending on where you were within the wireless bubble. Now I can get 5G anywhere and it is fast and smooth. I use technology of some sort all day long. I am used to it and it has been a very long time that something truly innovative has come out. This is the first tech thing that I have gotten in a while that is very exciting and does exactly what they say it will. No BS, no fluff, just correct and thoughtful design with proper execution. The price is well within the range of similar systems that are trying to provide a mesh network. I found it to be the best price and it was cheaper then other system that I did not see as better in any way. This is also using 802.11ac and has room to grow so I know this purchase will be serving me and my users for years to come. I you use wireless technology in your home or small office; this is simply the best wireless system/solution I have ever seen. It is beautiful, fast, easy to manage/setup, powerful, and designed for future growth. If you are skeptical, visit their website and read the CEO's blogs. The company comes from very impressive roots. They may rethink networked devices like Tesla re-thought the car.

Fabulous Mesh System

I have been using Linksys routers in my home for over 20 yrs. I would replace each with a new Linksys router whenever a new 802.11 standard showed up in their product line (e.g. legacy, b, g, n, ac) and pass the older still working unit to others. I'd add that I got good service and my money’s worth from all with the latest being the WRT1900AC. For about 2 yrs the AC worked flawlessly but this summer it failed ... would not broadcast its SSID. Everything hardwired to the 1900 LAN ports still worked perfectly. All those years and this was the first failed unit I experienced. Of course the warranty was for one year so I was on my own. I purchased Linksys tech support for $40. and spent about 4 hrs on the phone with them, plus allowing them to control my PC remotely. The short version is that they could not make it work & recommended that I buy their new Velop. They refunded the $40. fee since their efforts were not successful. The idea of a mesh network was appealing but which one was best? I read every review available and found no clear winner. So I then purchased three mesh systems: Linksys Velop, Netgear Orbi and Ubiquity Amplifi. My son & I spent most of 2 days setting them up one a time taking signal strength measurements at a dozen or so locations for each system. The area we wanted to cover was about 100ft wide by 300ft long and included a 2-story house located on one end of a 100 X 600ft property. We used 3 identical routers in each set. In each test the three were located identically throughout the home and garage, the locations having been selected for best results. The first we tested was the Linksys Velop. Two of them connected to each other as expected. The third refused to connect with either of the first two no matter how close or how long we tried ... system failure #1. We recorded the signal strength with 2 units operating properly. The second mesh set tested was the Netgear Orbi. None of the three would connect to any other during setup no matter how close or how long we tried ... system failure #2. We recorded the signal strength with only one unit operating properly. The third system tested was the Ubiquity Amplifi HD (3 identical HD units – not one HD router and 2 mesh points). Many hours had been spent trying to get the three routers in the Velop & Orbi systems to setup properly so I confess our spirits were a bit low at this point. This was to be our last try at mesh or all systems would be returned for refund. Surprisingly, the Amplifi mesh system (yes, all three HD routers) were up and running in well under a half hour. And the app is amazing! Unlike the others, it was fully baked and a pleasure to use. We have very good coverage for a 100 X 300ft area as well as some additional coverage in the field across the street. We even tested it by killing the main CB of our 200A panel, thereby shutting down everything we own simultaneously (cable modem, routers, switches, etc). We waited 5 minutes & then turned the main CB back on. The Amplifi automatically reconfigured itself and worked as before with no additional human intervention required. It has been about 2 weeks now without a single glitch or problem. Working with Amplifi has been satisfying and I would highly recommend you give this brand a try in your home. BTW, for even a large home, one or two HD units would likely be all you would need … you can always add more if you wish.

Totally Happy with Company and System!

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!.

Two Routers may be better than Router and Hives

This Wi-Fi Router is awesome as others have indicated in other reviews. Something others may not know...two routers in my opinion are better than buying one router and additional hives in certain scenarios. The hives are almost the same cost as another router. A buddy of mine recommended this router and he bought two routers. He ended up contacting tech support about a minor issue and the tech was surprised that he bought two routers rather than the standard router plus hives scenario. The tech advised they didn't think anybody would go that route and he asked my buddy a lot of questions to pass on to their tech team. What is great about two routers is that in the second location you can hard wire your devices to the router and get nearly gigabit connection. My buddy and I both have similar situations where he is in the basement of his home his main router is on the floor above and in my scenario my room is on the first floor of our three story home with the router on the second floor. We both are enjoying the fast speeds of hard wired devices in the second location. PS4, Mini-ITX Gaming PC are hard wired due to need for low latency for gaming, Amazon Fire Stick, Nexus 6 Cell phone, and LG 4K Smart TV are all working smoothly on Wireless AC and that is just from my room. At any given time my household has 10-15 devices using the network. This router has been great. Only minor hiccup that my buddy originally called tech support for was when you have two routers there is an issue where the second location may display as if it is the main router. Tech support identified that they weren't aware customers would buy two routers and they would look to fix the displays in a patch and allow both screens to be independent. The quick fix was to unplug both devices and plug back in and the displays have been fine ever since. I believe the most recent patch may have even fixed the issue because the screen has never done that again.

Bought 2 of these 1 as router the other as mesh point. Works great. Nearly $100 cheaper than 2 unit Velop or Orbi systems.

My cable comes into the house in the basement. Our main floor is decorated concrete including over the basement. The concrete floor allows no good way to run ethernet cable from the basement to the main floor I decided to use a wireless mesh system. My original candidates were Orbi and Velop. What I didn't like about the Amplifi system, at first, was that the remote plug-in wifi units have no ethernet plugs. Then I read that you could use the Amplifi router as a mesh point with 4 ethernet ports. So I bought two of these, one as the router and the other as a mesh point. That was nearly $100 cheaper than my earlier candidates. Setup was easy with a little help from Amplifi online chat. I'm getting all the Internet speed I'm paying for on both floors. Wifi signal reaches throughout my 3500 sq foot main floor and I could always add a wifi only mesh point if needed. I should mention that ethernet backhaul is supported even though I could not use it. I haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability but I'm quite happy so far.

The long and short, this is much better than Velop and Google Wifi

Started with an Amplifi system because I have one in another house (only router and one standalone). I was having problems with the system in this house, with two satellites. The router is at the end of the chain, and the other two are supposed to form a daisy chain. The problem I was having was that the far satellite would sometimes find the router at the end instead of the satellite in the middle, making performance sub-optimal. Amplifi tech support assured me that they are supposed to find the best way to create a network and then do that, but this wasn't happening. I decided to try a Velop, which has great reviews, even though it is much more expensive and has only one extra Ethernet jack on the main node, versus four for the Amplifi. I had to buy a switch to connect the two things I needed to connect to the router. Velop was a big mistake. It took forever to get the first node up and running. Every little step in the process took a long time. Several times, it bombed out, giving an informative error message like "Whoops, something happened, let's start again" Back to the beginning to wait an agonizingly long time. Finally, I got that node and a second one running. Third node could not be set up no matter what I do. Resetting, repeating, etc. Spent 45 minutes with their substandard support people. I had two nodes running, so I can get some idea of the performance of this piece of garbage. I had horrible latency/lags when loading some websites. In addition, dropouts are frequent on all devices. Also, the app is horrible. Takes forever to even open, then has laughably limited functionality and offers no way to measure the performance of the network. Next, I tried the Google Wifi system. It too only has one extra Ethernet jack on the main node, but is cheaper than Velop (and Amplifi). The nodes were in exactly the same spots as the Amplifi system, and just weren't performing acceptably. Just couldn't get the same range. The app is also pretty sparse on information, which wouldn't be a huge problem if the thing worked well. Also, I'm a little creeped out by Google collecting my wifi activity. And, 24 hours after I connected the network I received the first SPAM email from them. This system dropped connections frequently with iPhones. They would reconnect, but didn't see this issue with Amplifi. By the way, I also like the way the Amplifi satellite nodes plug into a wall outlet, and you can rotate the top part to boost the signal. I'm not really interested in having pucks or square phalluses sitting around on my furniture, no matter how cool the designers think they look. So, I'm back to Amplifi, and will put up with the occasional need to reset the far node (done from the app) to get it to look for the middle node and not the router.

Impressive...VERY impressive.

I have been having network woes for a bit now. I have a heavy network load in the house. The house itself is a single story home built in the mid 90's so I didn't think I should have the network issues I did...but man did I. My original setup was the most recent generation Apple Time Capsule. It original did fine, though there was some signal loss once you were on our back deck. I decided to add a newer Airport Express on the back deck to both boost the network and have Airplay music back there. But even with that it seemed the network was poor around the house. I'd normally get between 40 & 50 Mbps if I was in the room the Time Capsule was in, but the speed elsewhere was not great...20's in some parts, 10-15 on our decks and it seemed erratic at times. It's important to note in the house are: 2 smartphones, 2 tablets, a laptop, 2 wireless cameras, a wireless alarm system, a Nest, 2 Apple TV's, Smart TV, 2 game consoles and maybe a couple other items I'm forgetting now. So there is a pretty good demand on the network...around 20-21 devices. After trying different things...like changing router placement, etc...I threw up my hands and decided to purchase one of the new mesh systems. I had been eyeing the AMPLIFI HD for a while...but was hesitant to lay out the money for it. I finally did bite the bullet though the other day after it had been languishing in my cart for some time. I have had experience with mesh network setups in a business setting as I've been an IT freelancer for a number of years and have installed some business mesh networks a few times. They were always quite impressive. So I was interested to see this new generation aimed at consumers. Upon its arrival I could certainly see that Amplifi was started by a former Apple employee. Everything from the box, to the design to the app and setup itself reminded me of Apple. It was incredibly easy to setup the router and its mesh points. It took less than 10 minutes to have it in place. And the results? My network now consistantly tests in multiple places in the home and even on the deck at over 170 Mbps. I installed it a few days ago and it continues to test at that speed. It is a truly excellent product and does live up to its promises as a mesh network and I can't recommend it more highly to others. If you are debating the purchase, as I was, I encourage you to take the plunge...I could not be happier.

it was abysmal at best. While we were getting 120-150 Mbps in the ...

I live in a 120-year-old house made of plaster, lath, brick, and so much wire and nails, it's basically a faraday cage. Or rather, a series of them. Standard wireless routers just couldn't penetrate the walls very well, and even with bridge routers to extend the wifi signal, it was abysmal at best. While we were getting 120-150 Mbps in the room with the main wifi router, two rooms away we were lucky to get 9-10 Mbps on average, 20 if we were really lucky. Network speeds downstairs were also terrible to nonexistent. I set this system up today, and the process of getting it all online was fairly straightforward. I downloaded the app, which walked me through the process, and within a few minutes it was up and running. Then it was just a matter of setting up the access points, which was as easy as plugging them in and configuring them, which took two minutes. Now we get speeds of 118 Mbps in the back of the house, as well as downstairs. It's amazing! Automatic backups via wireless to a network hard drive (Time Capsule, in our case) is also seamless, and doesn't affect overall network performance like it did in our old network system. If performance changes over time, I'll update the review, but for now we're extremely happy.
