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.See other LED statuses in this article. Routers you may be using as mesh points (RAMPs) 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 (either MeshPoint or Router as a Mesh Point) and then see the signal level displayed. Important If you wish to remove one of your SSIDs, just follow the same path described in this article and toggle the feature off for each setting. AmpliFi HD / AmpliFi Instant / AmpliFi Gamer's Edition How to Create an Additional SSID If neither of these work, you can clear the network history of the device. This has been noted as most helpful printers, but can help with any type of device that allows this sort of cleanup. This option can be found in most printer's main settings. Tip Alternatively you can look at the status LEDs on the MeshPoint and verify that all five LEDs are illuminated, meaning it has 100% signal level. Less than five LEDs would indicate a signal less than 100%.

Enable the additional SSID by tapping on the toggle button for each broadcast you would like to create. I mention this in part because AmpliFi is that rare mesh system that does not self-update — a downside inherited by the stand-alone mesh points. Not only does the documentation fail to mention the need for firmware updates, but none of the articles I have read about using AmpliFi devices mention it either. Initial configuration state: When the AmpliFi router is not configured (not paired), the router LED will be lit at the maximum brightness setting, and the 3 middle LEDs of the MeshPoints will flash. From there you can see the signal strength, as well as notes about whether or not the MeshPointHD is installed in an optimal place to boost the Wi-Fi signal. However, we did find we needed to plug it in to a few different places ourselves to get good results. 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.

Assign a static IP to a device that is not connected to the network Assign a Static IP to a Device That is Currently Connected to the Network All AmpliFi devices are intended for indoor use. The operating environment temperature is between 14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 55 degrees Celsius) and the operating humidity levels are between 5% and 95% non-condensing. 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.My AmpliFi mesh point, plugged into an extension cord (requires three prongs) My log: Fits and starts of setting up the AmpliFi mesh point

Create a separate SSID (WiFi network) that will only broadcast 2.4GHz on the router or mesh point (depending on the location of your device) and then have the device connect to that specific SSID : How to Add an Additional SSID. Some devices can only connect to a 2.4GHz frequency network. To solve issues related to this you can try two things: An easy way to connect to your device is by enabling WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). If your device supports WPS, then you can enable it on AmpliFi by following the steps in this article. The Android device I was using, even though it was a few feet from the mesh point, was communicating over the 2.4GHz band, so too was a 5GHz-capable iPad in another room. This time disabling Wi-Fi on my Android device and re-enabling it did not change anything. It was still using the 2.4GHz band to talk to the mesh point. One of my favorites is the 5 small blue LED lights on the mesh point itself. After initial configuration, these dots indicate the strength of the signal between the mesh point and the router. This makes moving the mesh point to improve the signal as easy as easy could be.The AmpliFi Alien Router can be reset by holding a paperclip into the reset hole located on the bottom of the router next to the WAN port and power plug in. Hold the paperclip in the hole for 10 seconds or until the front of the router says rebooting. Physical Reset for Teleport 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. The changes you made will now be displayed on the list of connected devices, as well as in the web interface. 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.
