If your ISP says you should be seeing gigabit speeds, then we recommend enabling Hardware NAT. Please keep in mind that if this feature is enabled in plans with lower speeds, it could actually be detrimental to the network, so only enable it if that's the case. See this article for instructions: Enabling Hardware NAT. Run a speedtest again. Added QoS options for Wi-Fi client prioritization based on gaming, streaming, or normal Internet usage Device placement will vary depending on a number of factors. You can use the LEDs on the HD MeshPoints to guide you as you move them around to find the optimal coverage. You can also adjust the mesh point's angle to get better signal.

What conclusions can be drawn from such radically different results? Only that the mesh point must be very directional in nature. The standalone AmpliFi HD Router and MeshPoint can be set up as an access point with a 3rd party router by following this procedure: The AmpliFi™ HD (High Density) Mesh Router can be used as a stand-alone router or with other AmpliFi™ Mesh Routers for multi-hop, self-healing wireless coverage and enhanced range.After the mesh point(s) has been factory reset, please use the AmpliFi smartphone app (available for iOS and Android) to re-setup the AmpliFi Mesh point. Please refer to this article link for setup steps. Upgrading state : While the AmpliFi router is being upgraded, the router LED will increase in brightness and the MeshPoints’ LEDs will light up one by one. Some devices can only connect to a 2.4GHz frequency network. To solve issues related to this you can try two things:

Adding AmpliFi Standalone Devices as Mesh Points

The lights on the mesh point are lighting up middle outwards; it is searching for a network. I should have waited until the lights were solid, indicating the signal strength, before bothering with the app. In my defense, the app doesn't warn about this and there is no documentation.The RAMP will now say "connecting..." on its LCD screen. Plug in the Ethernet cable to the WAN port and the RAMP will recognize the cable connected. Once this is done, you may disconnect the routers from power to set them up in their final location, the configuration will not be lost if it was successful. Ready state: The router LED will be lit solid white at the maximum setting or at the brightness level you choose in the AmpliFi app. The MeshPoints will be lit based on the signal strength that they are receiving from the router.

AmpliFi will not replace your cable, DSL, or fiber modem. You need a modem to bridge the connection between your service providers internet service and your home router and devices. Note that AmpliFi provides the hardware, not the internet service. AmpliFi is also compatible with fiber optic services. If placing the AmpliFi router near the center of the home is not possible, "daisy chaining" is the next best solution. That means that the signal will jump from one mesh point to the next. Even though the mesh point was in the same room as the router, the ISP speed test was a miserable 7 Mbps down and 4 up. My Android device, while connected to the mesh point, tested at 5 Mbps down and 5 up using the Speedtest.net app. Later, it tested at 16 Mbps down and 12 up. Devices on your local AmpliFi network can now access internet connection on a remote AmpliFi router Add Restricted Internet times to prevent all devices that are part of that group to access the Internet at certain times of the day.

Scroll down to the Mesh PointAdditional SSID section and enable each additional band individually by tapping on the toggle button.

The changes you made will now be displayed on the list of connected devices, as well as in the web interface. Remote control requires either a Facebook or Google account; Ubiquiti does not support old-school Dynamic DNS (DDNS). Remote access can be very useful for a router, not so much for a repeater. I skipped it. Scroll down to "IPv6" and toggle this setting On. Once it is enabled it will be blue and have a drop down menu for further configuration. I tried to "Switch AmpliFi" in the app and go down the path for "I have already configured AmpliFi" but, again, it failed to find any AmpliFi devices. Shutting down the app, turning on Bluetooth, and re-starting the app also didn't help. Before troubleshooting, find out what speed you have from the internet service provider (ISP) and confirm that it is currently set up according to that agreement. Additionally, if you have only tested speeds using one option (like the in-app AmpliFi speedtest) make sure to "find a second opinion". Perform a speed test on a wireless device and a wired device using speedtest.net. If you notice that your speed issues are only apparent on the wireless device, go to this article: Stability Issues. If you're experiencing speed issues when devices connect to one of the MeshPoints but not the router, take a look at this other article: Slow Speeds on Mesh Points.Despite our reservations over the MeshPointHDs, the design of the Amplifi HD, especially the router, is very impressive, and if you’re an Apple fan, you’ll likely approve of the Cupertino-esque aesthetics. Before proceeding to follow these instructions, please verify that your AmpliFi system is running the latest firmware and the mobile app is running the latest software. The IPv6 option can be enabled through the app or through the advanced web UI. I was having terrible trouble with the out-of-the box Virgin router, it couldn't even supply half the speed I was paying for, and most of the upstairs of our old 1930s house couldn't even get a signal.
