With the old router speeds were dramatically lower on 2.4. A little lazy, using just the Alien. Though it performed well at range, the AmpliFi Alien's signal strength wasn't as impressive as Netgear Orbi 6. UDM Pro war nicht so prall. That number only fell to 722Mbps when we tested again from a distance of 75 feet. @Derek-Saville said in Setting Up Alien To Replace Current Router: The Additional 5 GHz radio was only intended for compatibility reasons and is not recommended for general use by AmpliFi, but you can find reports online and in this community for people achieving better overall throughput on the 5.2 GHz band while firmware matures Hab ich wieder verkauft. However, I miss my overkill network setup. I'm going to pull the trigger on the ER4 tonight. Along with a spacey design that includes a cylindrical build, a touchscreen interface and a ring of LED indicator lights around the base, the Alien router features a unique trick called AmpliFi Teleport that lets you route your web traffic through your home network from anywhere in the world.
What I love most about this router is how much data you can see at any one time, both on the display on the router and the app. Triband-Router mit Wi-Fi 6 schafft knapp 7,7 Gbit/s im WLAN. If you wanted, you could separate out the Alien's Wi-Fi 6 5GHz band as a dedicated backhaul, too, which would likely net you similarly strong results -- but again, you'd be left with a 5GHz band for your network devices that only supports Wi-Fi 5 speeds. In Europa bietet Ubiquiti den neuen AmpliFi Alien Router derzeit zum Preis von 335,24 Euro an. But when my wife came home I could not get her iPhone XS or her iPad Pro to join that name network.
I was considering setting up load balancing in the future ER4 with the two ISP's, but my partner (also an engineer) thought that was too much overkill, despite my argument that, since we're both f/t wfh with all the covid business, having the redundancy would be pretty nice, not to mention the potential for better network latency amidst 4 kids streaming and gaming at the same time. Testen in der Arbeit auch grad eine Pro für einen kleinen Aussenstandort, die Software ist wirklich eher Beta Stadium gerade wenn es um site to site vpn geht, sind noch viele Fehler drinnen. Another option would be to separate out the 5GHz band that supports Wi-Fi 5 and use it as a dedicated network for gaming, or for smart home gadgets. It features a tri-band radio with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11ax radios optimized for Wi-Fi 6 performance and backwards compatibility with previous Wi-Fi … Strongest among them is the Netgear Orbi 6 -- but the AmpliFi Alien isn't too far behind it. As you can see, the Alien did an adequate job of blanketing the space in Wi-Fi, but it was a little underwhelming when compared with the Netgear Orbi 6.
When she first came in I looked and hers had picked up the 5 band which has a different name than the 2.4 and the Common. The ability to change WiFi 6 channels was discussed in a different thread, and it is something we are working on but have not yet released to the system. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. A little lazy, using just the Alien. The screen on the router displays various information such as network activity, connected devices, and temps. It needs to be that way to maintain certain tv/dvr functions. Daher wohl eher auch etwas für das Spiele Labor aktuell. @Dslav1 LOL so, we have Spectrum in our area, and TDS is laying down fiber in front of our house this weekend.
Also, if offloading the routing from the alien will it improve performance? I’m thinking along the same lines. Durch einen Klick darauf gelangt ihr direkt zum Anbieter. The AmpliFi Alien and its accompanying mesh point are each stout black cylinders with rings of yellowy green light around the base. On top of that, it has a couple of extra tricks up its sleeve that that might help you feel like you're getting your money's worth. You can also see previous newsletters here ->, Your email address will not be published.
I have the main router in my office which is in one corner of the house and then I have the mesh point in my living room which is on the other side of the house and I get a good range everywhere and over both floors. Verschiedene Switches zum Beispiel. Really impressed with this product. Deine E-Mail-Adresse wird nicht veröffentlicht. © CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved. This topic has been deleted. The AmpliFi Alien is one of several spiffy new routers that support Wi-Fi 6 -- the newest, fastest version of Wi-Fi. I was assuming that the two channel’s being shown in that screenshot above, 6 for the 2.4 and 36 for the 5 would be the active channels currently in use by my devices. With the channel selection, that is adjusting the WiFi 5 channels, not WiFi 6. That gives you some nice control over how you use the Alien in your home, but the lack of two distinct Wi-Fi 6 bands means that your options all come with compromises. I love my mesh kit.
If that’s the case, and I’ll first try this with the default radios, naming the 2.4 and 5 separately, letting my printer and cameras connect to the 2.4, and have my ios devices, all are recent ones, connect to that 5 band. So if I understand what you’ve said just turning off the Common SSID and selecting that 5 band may not work as well as creating the additional 5 band radio and selecting the channel manually. There's a lot to like about this high-end, next-gen router -- but at $700 for a two-piece mesh setup, it's not as impressive as it needs to be. When I originally set my internet and tv service up, I have Verizon Fios, I was told I needed the Verizon router for certain tv functions but since I was going to use my own router for my wifi network I was instructed to place my router in bridge mode. Sonos speaker on 2.4 GHz) you can provide a unique SSID for those devices on an individual router or access point, if a roaming device does NOT work with the Common SSID, an additional unique SSID can be given, per band, per router and access point. @Dslav1 Who's got two thumbs, and about to write a app to scrape their website? I figured this was a slam dunk answer, to just use the ER3 lite and Alien in bridge, but they will not just say that for some reason. I just found it confusing to see that 5GHz band on 36 under the automatic setting. The Additional 5 GHz radio was only intended for compatibility reasons and is not recommended for general use by AmpliFi, but you can find reports online and in this community for people achieving better overall throughput on the 5.2 GHz band while firmware matures By “forgetting” the 2.4 they only pick up and join the 5 so I don’t have to manually make a switch.
Serious, though, let us know how your setup goes. TL;DR - Setting up the Alien in bridge mode, and offloading the routing to the edgerouter would potentially improve both the Alien's AP performance (not dealing with routing), and the overall routing performance of the router, as the edgerouters are pretty serious, for their price point. I guess I could test, but figure I would ask before dismantling and reassembling my network. Required fields are marked *. You can just name the SSID's the same as you have them now, and assuming they use the same password, everything should connect the same, The only things that could possibly mess that up is the Alien's auto selection of the 5 GHz channel, or a device not liking WiFi-6.
That system would be a better choice for especially large homes that require lots of coverage. I entered the password correctly, the passwords are the same for both bands as well as the Common name, but they refused to connect. To get the most out of it I needed a WiFi 6 router which the AMPLIFI Alien is. In my building there are quite a few 2.4 networks and I want to avoid that interference for the ios devices. The Alien is still unavailable everywhere, but at the least it'should improve things with out current setup (the orbi). @Derek-Saville Thanks Derek. Hopefully, I’ll get back to it soon and have it up and running with the new setup. @Dslav1 I'll preface my answer with: I don't yet own any Ubiquiti devices, but I am an engineer and should be able to give you a pretty good "best guess.". But yes, it is recommended to place AmpliFi into Bridge mode.
@John-Pappas The additional 5Ghz radio is the legacy radio option (WiFi 5 only) This was included in case certain devices did not play well with WiFi 6, and the need for a dedicated WiFi 5 broadcast was needed.
So if you did a scan of your network based on the image of your setup you should see: If you want an SSID in the 5.2 GHz band between channels 36 to 48, then you need to enable the Additional 5GHz Radio option, The available options for SSID can get very confusing...quick summary, It just depends on what you need for your environment and your client devices, Those settings for SSID's and Channel selections are common and will apply to all router and access points in a mesh setup. I also would like to know what those other settings in the other screenshot below the Additional 5 GHz, the Router Additional SSID toggle settings. Das Paket aus Router und Mesh-Point ist für 613,64 Euro erhältlich. I can download pretty much anything at ridiculous speeds and it makes uploading YouTube videos an absolute breeze. On my current Apple router I select the 5GHz channel manually, 149, I found that leaving it on the Automatic setting did not achieve the best coverage or download speeds. Lab-based top-speed tests are all well and good, but we make sure to take a good look at how these things perform in a typical home environment, too. Available as a standalone router for $379, or bundled with a high-powered range extender in a two-piece mesh setup for $700, it's one of several expensive tri-band Wi-Fi 6 routers that exist in a premium tier above most everything else on the market. On top of that, one of its two 5GHz bands only supports Wi-Fi 5, which undercuts some of the tri-band appeal. Our last performance test measures signal strength in the 5,800-square-foot CNET Smart Home.
Same. The stronger the signal strength, the faster you'll be able to connect. I created a new post with the screenshots below. I like the simpler interface of the alien and configuration, but I don’t have an issue using the ER lite if it means improved performance. I’ve been working to organize all my network equipment and move it all over to a small rack. @Derek-Saville If they are still in business on that side at the rate they are going. So, I lugged the Alien home with me for a weekend and ran an abundance of speed tests at various distances throughout my smallish, 1,300-square-foot house in Louisville, Kentucky, where I have an incoming fiber internet connection of 300Mbps.
How to Add an AmpliFi Alien router to an AmpliFi Alien network. Für euch ändert sich am Preis nichts. What are those used for? However when I turned off the automatic setting I was offered 3 channels, all lower numbered ones such as the 36 shown in the screenshot. A Night Mode feature can also automatically dim them down to your preferred setting during evening hours. That's a handy layer of security if you're connecting to a public Wi-Fi network, and useful if you want to stream your local channels from a digital TV service while you're traveling. Should I ditch my edge router lite (ER3) and use the router on the alien ? I ran that pitch by Rae Hodge, an authority on VPNs here at CNET. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, A subreddit for AmpliFi products from Ubiquiti Networks, Press J to jump to the feed. Just have to check back a few times a day. I did that with my 2 iPhones and ipad and this worked. I wouldn't be surprised if AmpliFi changes that at some point, but for now, the feature is reserved for phones, tablets, and Android TV devices. I’m fortunate enough to have gigabit internet at home, providing me with 940mb down and 320mb up.
