Use a straightened paperclip or similar thin object to press the Reset button located on the bottom of the AmpliFi router for 5 seconds or until the screen shows rebooting. Then release. Reset via the AmpliFi App

AmpliFi MeshPoint Quick Start Guide AmpliFi MeshPoint Quick Start Guide

Low mesh point signal may cause stability issues. To view the signal of your mesh point launch the AmpliFi app and select the mesh point icon displayed. 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. It’s incredibly easy to set up, and it works brilliantly as well. If you have a large house, then the two MeshPointHD extenders will help ensure it is covered by your Wi-Fi network. In my case, the mesh point was using the 2.4GHz band to communicate with the router, as that was the only option. Had the router been dual-band, I could have chosen either frequency band. I restart the app, this time opting to "Setup AmpliFi Standalone Mesh Point." Still nothing — it looks and looks and looks but never finds the mesh point.

Google requires all apps to request users to grant Location permissions when performing discovery-related tasks. The AmpliFi app needs to request Location permission so your AmpliFi can be discovered by WiFi SSID (during setup), in network (when already set up) or when adding it in 3rd party mode via Bluetooth.

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.

To rule out a defective cable issue, replace both cables: the cable running from the modem to the WAN (blue port) of the AmpliFi router, as well as the cable going from the LAN port of the router to your laptop. Run a speedtest again. A defective cable connected to the WAN port would result in bad performance for both wired and wireless devices; while a defective cable connected to a LAN port would only affect the device connected to it. Devices that came bundled together in a box are hard-coded to each other and cannot be used to expand another network. You can however, add standalone devices to expand a kit. Need help determining if a device is standalone? See this article: How to Verify if a Device is Standalone. Important If troubleshooting with an AmpliFi Instant or AmpliFi Alien system skip this step. The AmpliFi Instant router is not capable of reaching gigabit speeds so does not have the hardware NAT feature; and the AmpliFi Alien has this feature built in so it is not available for configuring on the app. You can disable Band Steering in the app to allow connection on 2.4GHz, as described in this article: Band Steering.

AmpliFi MeshPoint HD – Amplifi Wi-Fi

Alien + Standalone AmpliFi HD: You can add a standalone AmpliFi HD device (router or MeshPoint) to the Alien router's network in third party extender mode. We do not recommend this if it can be avoided since it will not fully integrate to the Alien, and there will be a loss of features. However it can be set up to extend the SSID and signal. Scroll down to the RouterAdditional SSID section and enable additional band by tapping on the toggle button for each broadcast you would like to create.The MeshPoints have five LEDs that display the current signal level. Five lit LEDs indicate 100% signal level. You should have at least 80% signal, or four LEDs. Routers as mesh points will show their signal strength on their LCD screen (you should strive to have GREAT signal). If you prefer to see more precise percentage levels you can use the app: tap on the mesh point device and then see the signal level displayed. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows users to easily connect devices (like wireless printers and wireless cameras for example) that support WPS to the AmpliFi system. WPS can be enabled temporarily via the AmpliFi app or the webUI, take a look below: Enabling WPS on the AmpliFi mobile app Note This is a local feature, which means this setting must be applied to router and then to each mesh point that is part of your AmpliFi system. If you only add the additional SSID to your router, but not to your mesh points, your client devices will only be able to connect to that Wi-Fi network when they are in range of the router. When he refers to "shin-level positioning," Salter is assuming that the mesh point is plugged directly into an electric outlet. This is how it was meant to be used, judging by the device photos from Ubiquiti. But it doesn't have to be that way.
