That’s in the middle between the resurgent Deco X20’s 255.4 Mbps and the Asus ZenWiFi AX8’s 136.0 Mbps and the Orbi RBK 852’s 124.5 Mbps. All are well off the 1.232 Gbps pace set by the Wi-Fi 6E-based Asus Zen ET8.Īt 50-feet (about 15 meters), the AmpliFi Alien’s throughput dropped off to 177.4 Mbps. Still it’s 18 percent more bandwidth than the TP-Link X20’s 522.1 Mbps.

That should be fine for most families but fell short compared to the Netgear Orbi RBK852 (at 883.6 Mbps), the SURFboard mAX Pro (820.3 Mbps) or the Asus ZenWiFi AX8 (701.0 Mbps). With 15-feet (4.5 meters) between the router and the receiving Galaxy Book Pro, the benchmark recorded 636.2 Mbps of throughput. After a week of daily use, the two-piece kit came close to filling my 3,500 square foot house but left several small dead zones in the basement. Using Ixia’s IxChariot networking benchmark to simulate 10 data-hungry users and a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro as a connected client, the AmpliFi Alien was reliable but fell short of the best. All support gigabit per second transfers but none can handle 2.5 Gbps inputs. While the router has a WAN input and four downstream LAN ports, the MeshPoint satellite has one Ethernet port. If your home has Ethernet cables, you can use them to turn the satellite into a wired access point. It’s easy to change from using the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band for the back-haul channel that shuttles data from the satellites to the router. The Alien kit lacks the ability to tap into the Wi-Fi 6e’s 6GHz band, however, and carries an AX7700 rating.
Based on the 802.11AX protocol, it creates a tri-band network that uses the 2.4GHz band (up to 1.148 Gbps) as well as a low-bandwidth 5GHz channel (at 1.733 Gbps) and a high-bandwidth 5GHz channel (at 4.804 Gbps). It’s got 1GB of RAM and 256MB of flash storage space for firmware and network settings. Powered by a Qualcomm IPQ8074 Wi-Fi chipset, the system uses a 2GHz quad-core processor to keep up with data traffic. Unlike other routers that only have annoying blinking lights, the AmpliFi Alien can show anything from current network devices and internet status to the processor and memory loads. Happily, the AmpliFi Alien doesn’t have a bulky external AC adapter. By contrast, the MeshPoint node only has the LED ring.īoth have soft rubber feet and a cut-out in the back for routing the WAN connection and power cord. At any time, it’s easy to reduce the screen and the LED ring’s brightness. Signal strength LEDs are integrated into the design to ensure the system is positioned for optimal performance.ġ3 Mbps to 1300 Mbps (MCS0 - MCS9, VHT 20/40/80)Ħ.If this is too much, the night mode can shut down the screen and LED ring independently on a daily schedule. Add MeshPoints as needed to an AmpliFi network or turn an ordinary router into a powerful mesh network. The AmpliFi MeshPoint features an adjustable Super Antenna and fits discreetly in any household, wherever dead spots need coverage.
It can be used to expand the coverage of an AmpliFi Mesh System or turn an existing router or Wi-Fi cablebox into a powerful mesh network. The AmpliFi HD (High Density) MeshPoint features an adjustable super antenna.
