If you do not yet have WiFi 6 devices, the Alien will work well with your WiFi 5 devices and future-proof your home network. The Alien supports 802.11ax/ac/n/g, which allows older devices to be perfectly compatible with this router.

This article includes a brief description of the AmpliFi models, but please see the full specifications tables in the product Datasheets before deciding to purchase a device. See the Compatibility Guide below to learn which devices you can use to expand your network. Additionally, you can build your own system with our standalone products, customizing AmpliFi to fit your specific needs. The AmpliFi kits offer a more robust solution, but many times the powerful standalone router (AFI-R) will be enough to provide internet to all corners of the home. AmpliFi offers several model options to meet each home's different networking needs.
