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.

Bought this based on the good reviews. We have a Virgin Media super hub which, like its predecessor, we had to regularly switch off and on again simply to get a wifi signal. Not every day, but at least two or three times per week. Plus, we had a number of wifi dead spots around the house which two Netgear extenders could not penetrate.We bought this kit, followed the instructions on the VM website to set the hub to modem mode, and plugged in the router only at first. This instantly improved the reach all around the house, but seeing as we had the mesh extenders as well, we plugged them in too (all UK plugs by the way).The app made it very easy to set up the system. The mesh extenders have small LEDs which light up depending on the signal strength; I moved one to a better spot for full-strength coverage. The app also shows you how well the system is working.Now we have full strength coverage all around the house and into the garden. The kit looks cool and is user-friendly; so simple to tap the screen on the router to scroll through various read-outs such as download speeds. It has a number of ports so you can plug in plenty of ethernet cables.Our kit has now been in use for two months and not once have we had to reboot the system - strong, consistent coverage and worth the money given how many devices we connect to it, including home security.

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...

Being a Virgin Media customer and having a super fast 200 mbps line, I have never really been able to take advantage of the blistering download speeds unless I had a ethernet cable plugged in to the VM router. The Virgin Media hub, even though dual band running both 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz (our third VM hub to date) had constant connection issues with connecting to a sky box, various iPhones, Dell Laptops and Apple TV and a number of WiFi dead spots around the home.The Amplifi system is by no means cheap or what could be considered a budget / value product, however, after doing some serious research on YouTube / Google and asking some relevant questions on Amazon I decided it was time to bite the bullet and give it a serious try.The package arrived on time, and undamaged. Within about 20 mins of getting it out of the box, plugged in and set up we started to enjoy serious download speeds right across the house. Using a SPEEDTEST app on my iPhone it was immediately clear on just how good this set up is, regularly showing between 220 mbps - 225 mbps with the average at about 220 mbps. Through my Virgin Media Hub I would get at best 130 mbps with an average of about 90 mbps (if that).I would thoroughly recommend this product, It is amazingly fast, very reliable and extremely easy to set up. I would suggest to anyone who is using a standard Wifi router provided by Virgin Media (or other standard wifi router from their Broadband Supplier) to upgrade to a performance wifi router.Just as a note, the original Virgin Media hub had to stay is situ (the Amplifi system is not a modem), I changed the setting on the Virgin Media Hub to 'Modem Mode Only' which meant the Virgin Media hub no longer transmitted WiFi.

I have to say what a superb product this is. I was an early adopter of the Linksys Velop system, after reading many reviews this seemed to be the fastest and would give me what I needed. After 18 months of non stop hassle, no wifi issues even though it would say that the wifi was working I finally gave up and started again in my search. I ordered a Netgear Orbi and this to didn't give me the wifi that I needed in my 3 storey solid wall house. I then had the pleasure to order this. Let me tell you that it was by far the easiest to set up of all these mesh networks. I spent hours and days trying to sort the others out, only for them not to meet my expectations. I ended up ordering this and then an additional Mesh point, so I have 3 altogether and boom I have pretty much full speed wifi in my whole house. The set up experience was by far the easiest and after altering some of the settings it was up and running properly in about 30 minutes. It looks the neatest of all the others. If you are thinking of getting a mesh network I would strongly suggest that you get this superb bit of equipment if you want something simple that just works.

Like the product but it seems that the functionality it has doesn't suite my needs. Tried getting in contact with the Amplifi support but they stopped communicating midway through. I assume that they either could not find an answer or didn't want to give me one. Shame really

I have been using Ubiquiti products since 2004. I have used many of their consumer grade products with success. Many of their products have become hard to get and quite expensive since the "Chip Shortage" and "COVID Supply Chain" problems. Before getting this Amplifi system I ordered the Linksys Velop system (Because it was the only system in stock). I was disappointed with the Velop's user interface and lack of features. The wireless signal was OK at best with line-of-site but went to unusable when any separation or obstructions were introduced. I spent many hours troubleshooting. My current house presents an RF challenge, which would have required purchasing double the Velop nodes. The Ubiquiti Amplifi system became available, so I jumped at the chance to order it. I spent about 30 mins setting it up and it has been running great for about a month. The wireless connections between nodes and from client to node is so much better. My coverage and quality of RF is much better with less Amplifi nodes than the Velop system. The one feature that I did like about the Velop is that the nodes had 2 1-Gb ethernet ports. These plug-in nodes do not. The main node has 4 ports. I would like to see at least 1 port on the plug-in node to add a small switch for expansion.

Espectacular!!!Lo q siempre andaba buscando; una red wifi que funcionara perfectamente para un hogar de dos plantas.Además tiene las grandes ventajas de que solo crea una red que te gestiona actomaticamente conectarte al mejor punto de acceso en cada momento.También esta genial el fácil control por una App donde se puede ver a simple vista el funcionamiento de toda la red. También tiene un autodiagnóstico de la red para ver las velocidades q funciona muy bien.La única contra es que, teniendo el emisor central en la parte alta y los dos satélites en la parte baja la potencia que llega es de un 40% (buena) y solo permite conexiones a 2,4Ghz.Estoy pensando poner un tercer satélite (comprado aparte) en el pasillo de arriba para potenciar los dos satélites de abajo que ya he probado que funciona y así todos irían a 5Ghz

Below average

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.

After struggling with numerous Wi-Fi routers and extenders over the years I had all but given up. Our house, including the 1,500 sq. ft. built out basement, runs around 6,500 sq. ft. It has been all but impossible to get a good signal in every part of the house... especially in the far bedrooms and kitchen area. My last attempt was an Apple AirPort Extreme (final generation) and several AirPort Extenders. Our Xfinity plan is supposed to get us in the neighborhood of 100 + mbps. The best I could get, anywhere in the house, was 40 - 50 mbps. We are running an Xfinity modem without built in Wi-Fi or telephone... so its as pure as they have. Finally, when we started having issues streaming live broadcast via Wi-Fi it gave me the insensitive to look for another solution.After a great deal of research I decided to try a mesh Wi-Fi solution and go with the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD. It is supposed to cover 20,000 sq. ft. with the main router and two mesh point units. The AmpliFi is very unique in its styling and was the only one rated to cover as much as 20,000 sq. ft.I ordered the unit on Amazon Prime and got it in a couple of days. It literally took me 15 minutes to get it set up. You do need to download the AmpliFi App from either the Android or Apple play stores. You control the AmpliFi router from your phone. You can download a software version for your PC or Laptop... but the smartphone version is much easier. Once I downloaded the App and connected the main router to the modem it was a simple task of getting them to recognize each other (which took all of 1 minute) then plug in the mesh units to the wall outlets I felt were the best placement for the best signal. (The App will show you the exact signal strength of each mesh unit once you get them set up.) Again, it took all of a couple of minutes for the mesh units to be recognized by the main router. After that I was off to the races!After a couple of minor adjustments to the mesh unit antenna I had all five blue lights on both mesh units light up. My signal strength is far beyond what I have ever had in the house. I have run speed tests in literally every room and am getting at least 100 mbps in every room. The basement is getting 90 - 100 mbps. Honestly, that is phenomenal!The main router unit is very unique and has a touch screen on the front that gives you a lot of information such as time and date, signal strength and other graph data showing signal strength. The smartphone App gives you a number of options for setting up guest networks, parental control, pause control and the ability to fine tune your network. It does default to 5 GHz, but you can change that to 2.5 GHz if you want to.I have seen a couple of "tech guy" reviews that state this product doesn't give them enough control to completely control the network and do total manual set-ups. Guess that's fine if you are a pure tech oriented person that has to set these things up from the ground up. For the average person and household looking for a solid solution that actually works without having to fight with it to get it set-up.... I would highly recommend looking into the AmpliFi HD mesh system. I used the standard set-up and it worked great from the get go. It is the first time in many years that we have full Wi-Fi coverage in our house and a very strong signal throughout. I would give it 10 stars if I could!!

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
