Compatibility Guide

This compatibility guide illustrates which models are compatible for meshing and pairing; check marks indicate compatibility. For example, the AFI-HD is owned and another AFI-HD is wanting to be purchased. According to the table, you will not be able to pair those two.

AmpliFi's web interface can be used on MacOS and Windows to perform initial configuration of the network and manage advanced options. See how to perform initial setup on the web interface in the AmpliFi User Guide, Chapter 4: Installing Without the App. The AmpliFi Router is meant to be managed from a smart phone or tablet.

To access AmpliFi's web interface you must be connected to the AmpliFi network on your device. Open a web browser and in the URL type in either http://amplifi.lan/ or the router IP address. (To obtain the router IP address look for the screen below on your AmpliFi router by tapping on the LCD screen)

Important This screen shows the router IP address

AmpliFi and the MeshPoints are intended for indoor use. The operating temperature is between 14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit and the operating humidity levels are between 5% and 95% non-condensing. 

AmpliFi will not replace your cable, DSL, or fiber modem. You need a modem in order to operate the AmpliFi. To find a modem that will work with the network please contact your service provider. If you have a fiber optic service and a modem from the service provider, AmpliFi will also be compatible. 

Yes, the standalone AmpliFi mesh points can be paired with third party routers. And the AmpliFi kits can be paired with 3rd party routers as long as one of the routers (the third party one, or the AmpliFi one) is set in bridge mode. See our compatibility table to see other ways to expand your AmpliFi network.

No, it's not recommended to use third-party chargers with your AmpliFi router. The AmpliFi router requires more power than what a typical USB-C charger supports. The AmpliFi charger was specifically designed to power the AmpliFi router, whereas a third-party charger might provide insufficient power which could lead to getting an "Adapter error", random restarts, or even damage your device.

For best performance, place the AmpliFi router at the center of the home or as close to the center as possible. It is recommended to place an AmpliFi mesh point on each side of the router, halfway between the AmpliFi router and an area in the home where there is poor connectivity. 

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.

Once placed, if the signal is not ideal, move the mesh points around a bit, trying to keep the face of the mesh point toward the router for best reception. Observe the mesh points' LEDs to verify where they are receiving the best signal.

Tip The LEDs on the AmpliFi mesh points indicate signal strength. All five of the LEDs on a mesh point will light up when it is receiving 100% signal. See other LED statuses in this article.

1. Place the device within one foot of the AmpliFi router and attempt connection. If the device connects to the wireless network and then loses signal as the device is moved away from the AmpliFi router, you my have an interference issue. For help identifying interference please see this article.

2. Verify if there are any devices currently connected to the AmpliFi network. In the event a device is connected but other devices cannot see the network, the SSID may be hidden. Manually type in the wireless information via the device to join the network. Or unhide the SSID, as described in this article.

3. If step 1 and 2 did not resolve the issue, perform a factory reset and complete the set up process. Click here for steps to perform a reset. 

4. If after performing a factory reset, the device still cannot see the AmpliFi network or connect to it, please contact our support team and let them know you have followed this article but the issue persists.

In the event that the AmpliFi router displays a "Adapter error" on the LCD screen please perform the following steps.

1. Make sure the adapter is fully plugged in to the USB C port.

2. Try unplugging the adapter from power and plugging it back in.

3. Fully unplug the USB C end from the AmpliFi and plug it back in.

4. Try using a different outlet.

If the AmpliFi router still displays the "Adapter error" message, the adapter might have been compromised. Please visit the AmpliFi store for replacement options. Please note that currently the only adapter model which is sold separately is the USB C model.

The IPv6 feature can be enabled with the AmpliFi app, to learn how to enable IPv6 please see this article. In the event of an issue with IPv6 please perform the following steps to resolve the issue:

Issue: IPv6 is turned on but resulting in the No IP Address error

1. Ensure that your ISP provides IPv6 addresses and that you can receive them. Contacting the ISP may be necessary to get this information.
2. In the AmpliFi app, run a diagnostics test to see if there are any errors occurring. The diagnostics test is available in the AmpliFi app on the utility bar. (Located on the top of the page for Android and the bottom of the page for iOS)

• If there is an IPv6 address error, connect a computer directly to the ISP modem and see if it can get an IPv6 address.
• It may be necessary to unplug your router from the modem to connect the computer to the modem.
• There are 3rd party websites that will run IPv6 tests.

IPv6 is turned on and is working properly, but presenting slow/unstable speeds

1. IPv6 may not be provided as the native protocol and the IPv6 option may need to be configured from DHCPv6 to 6to4. For instructions on how to do this see this article.

If slow speeds are experienced while connected to the internet via the Mesh Points please follow these steps to solve the issue. Please note that you may be facing external factors such as interference; to troubleshoot interference please click here.  

Signal Levels

Ensure that the Mesh Point has adequate signal levels by following these steps:

1. On the front of the Mesh Point are five LEDs, they display the current signal level. Five lit LEDs indicate 100% signal level. You should have at least 80% signal, or three or more LEDs lit.
2. Improve signal by ensuring the Mesh Point's front is facing in direction of the AmpliFi router. It is recommended to place Mesh Points in open areas free of thick walls or metal obstructions. 
3. Try moving the Mesh Point to different locations of the area being covered. Note that the Mesh Points should not normally be within 30 feet of each other. 

Backhaul Band

Change the wireless backhaul bands to improve speeds by following these steps:

1. Launch the AmpliFi app. 
2. Select the Mesh Point.

   

3. Select the drop down menu underneath the "Mesh Point backbone band".     

4. Choose either 5GHz for close range, but high performance or 2.4GHz for longer range.

Other Considerations

If you are using the Mesh Point in a noisy radio frequency area the performance will be effected. If the walls are metal or thick, more Mesh Points could be needed to properly cover the area, note that if the Mesh Points are feeding through another Mesh Point performance can be slightly degraded.

Gigabit speeds ARE supported by the AmpliFi mesh router, however, there is an option called Hardware NAT that needs to be enabled in order to achieve those speeds. Navigate to this article to understand what it is and how to enable it: https://help.amplifi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014557014-Hardware-NAT-What-is-it-and-how-do-I-enable-it-
