Why Choose the AmpliFi Alien?
True Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Speeds
The 8x8 high-band 5 GHz 802.11ax radio reaches up to 4804 Mbps, with the 2.4 GHz radio adding up to 1148 Mbps to clients — lag-free, low-latency performance for streaming, gaming, and video calls.
16-Stream Tri-Band Architecture
A 4x4 2.4 GHz radio plus 4x4 (low-band) and 8x8 (high-band) 5 GHz radios deliver up to 16 spatial streams, so dozens of devices stay fast at once with MU-MIMO and OFDMA.
Effortless Mesh Expansion
Start with one Alien and add more routers as MeshPoints to extend gigabit coverage across the largest homes — there's no limit to how many Alien units you can mesh together.
Built-In 4-Port Gigabit Switch
Four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports plus a Gigabit WAN port let you hard-wire TVs, consoles, NAS, and PCs directly at the router for the most reliable connection.
