![]() Here’s a look at the AmpliFi HD MeshPoints. According to Ubiquiti, the “Super Antenna” performs better than a conventional antenna array despite its compact size. In order to achieve the small footprint with a 3×3 MIMO antenna array built in, Ubiquiti had to strategically dedicate half the space inside the upper portion of the unit to the antenna array. At the bottom of the AmpliFi HD is a foam pad which keeps the unit in place while a plastic ring around the bottom lights up when the device is turned on. At this time, the USB 2.0 port doesn’t do anything, but it does give Ubiquiti some options for expandability later down the road. Looking at the router, the front of the unit features a nice big round LCD screen for displaying information while the rear features five Gigabit Ethernet ports (One WAN, Four LAN), a USB 2.0 port, speaker and a microUSB port for power. According to Ubiquiti, the AmpliFi was inspired by a combination of the Apple Airport (duh), the Nest Thermostat (circular LCD screen), and the Ubiquiti Unifi access points (underglow light). The AmpliFi HD router is a small, cube shaped device which will look more like an alarm clock on your desk rather than a Wi-Fi router. Here’s a look at the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD router. Included in the packaging is some documentation, the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD router, two Ubiquiti AmpliFi Mesh Points, an Ethernet cable, and a power adapter. Here’s a look at the packaging for the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD Mesh Wi-Fi System. The AmpliFi HD also features band steering, which will allow it to automatically select the best Wi-Fi band to use based on the device. The AmpliFi HD Router supports up to a staggering 5.25Gbps while the MeshPoints support up to 1.75Gbps although it’s not specified as to how Ubiquiti arrived at these numbers. Both feature support for 802.11 AC and both feature dual band 3×3 MIMO antennas. Looking at the specs, both the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD Router and MeshPoints both look very strong on paper.
