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.
4.7″ Colour Touchscreen
A full-colour 4.7″ touchscreen display (274 × 1268, 279 ppi) shows live connection info, speed-test results, and network status at a glance — no app required to check your network.
Simple App Control & Teleport VPN
The AmpliFi app handles instant setup, device management, family profiles, and guest access — plus free AmpliFi Teleport zero-config VPN to access your home network securely while travelling.
Powerful Quad-Core Engine
A Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 at 2.2 GHz with 1 GB DDR3L memory drives advanced QoS, VLANs, guest isolation, and IPv6 without slowing your throughput.
NDAA Compliant
Fully NDAA Section 889 compliant for government, defence, and security-sensitive deployments where supply-chain integrity is a requirement.
Is the AmpliFi Alien a Wi-Fi 6 router?
Yes. It uses 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) radios with an 8x8 high-band 5 GHz radio reaching up to 4804 Mbps, and is fully backward compatible with older Wi-Fi standards.
Can I expand coverage with more units?
Yes. Add any number of additional AmpliFi Alien routers as MeshPoints to extend gigabit Wi-Fi across larger homes — each unit also adds 4 more LAN ports.
Does it require a subscription?
No. The AmpliFi Alien is managed through the free AmpliFi app with no monthly fees, including the free Teleport zero-config VPN service.
How many wired devices can I connect?
Each Alien router has 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports plus a Gigabit WAN port, so you can hard-wire TVs, consoles, NAS, and PCs directly.
Is the AmpliFi Alien NDAA compliant?
Yes. Ubiquiti is a US-based manufacturer and the AmpliFi Alien is NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government and security-sensitive sites.
Will it work with my Australian NBN connection?
Yes. Connect the Gigabit WAN port to your NBN/NTD or modem. It uses standard 100–240 V AU mains power and ships fast Australia-wide.
