The app for your phone also provides excellent visibility into what is happening on your network. The location of the speed tests for both May and July was in the same place, my kitchen. The two tests on July 12th are from the Amplifi router and the dates in May are from my older Netgear router.
In the image to the left, you can see a few of the speed tests that I ran once the system was up and running. In the corners of my house, I am averaging about 70-80% of my 300Mbps speed which is a huge increase over my older router.

My Samsung TV that is in the background of First Ring Daily previously could not connect to the Internet and now it has an excellent connection. Aside from that, this router is fantastic. It took me about 45 minutes to figure out the issue and Amplifi’s customer support was helpful but it’s little disappointing this feature isn’t working yet. One issue I did run into is that the USB port on the back of the router is not currently ready for use and by plugging in my NAS, when the router rebooted after a firmware update, it was stuck in a boot loop. It took about five minutes to unbox, plug-in, and connect to my new network a novice could setup this mesh system without any issues. Once your router is up and running, you plug in the satellites in your house and they auto-configure with no additional setup by the user.

I should note that it is possible to setup the router without using the app as you can connect to it from a PC but it’s not as streamlined of a process. You are prompted to download an app and once you have it on your phone, the on-screen prompts have you up and running in seconds some may be annoyed that it pushes you to use the company’s app for servicing but it really is a simple process. Setting up the router could not be easier. The company makes networking gear for large companies which means this product isnt based on a quickly built networking stack but has solid roots in the corporate world. If you haven’t ever heard of Amplifi before, there is a good chance you have heard of the parent company, Ubiquiti. The base unit has a connection for your Internet and 4 open ports along with a USB port too. I was sent a review unit from Amplifi which consists of a base router and two satellite units the setup costs $349.99. Considering I was having issues with my current Netgear router, I figured I’d give Amplifi a try. Ruling that option out leaves Netgear’s Orbi which has several ports and even connections on satellite units and Amplifi’s product. Eero, which I actually purchased at one point and returned when the company was still new and had initial teething problems, only has one free ethernet port which means I needed to also buy a switch. One requirement I had is that I needed to be able to connect a few device directly to the new router which presented the first problem. To fix this issue, the option is to buy a mesh router setup and there are several good options on the market Eero, Netgear Orbi, Amplifi, and a few others have popped up as well. My previous router was not capable of covering the entire house, specifically the basement, with one part of my office receiving an anemic less than 1Mbps down I have a 300 down, 75 up connection at my house.

I don’t own a particularly large house, 1400sq ft ranch with a full basement (so about 2800sq ft for Wi-Fi coverage is needed when you include the basement).
