Why is AmpliFi bad? I'd honestly like to hear.
Why would I recommend AmpliFi over any of the half dozen alternatives on the market? Reality is that I simply wouldn't, and this coming from someone who loves Unifi/EdgeMax.
They also shipped a clearly not-ready product which took months to patch, not cool.
I thought their support was really good though. The main issue I have with it is that, for some reason, they were unable to identify my model number as being an older version that didn't support gigabit. They were super helpful but could have saved us both some time if they just paid closer attention to the model number.
I opted for the Netgear Orbi; good reviews and satellites capable of up to ~800 mbps in ideal situations.
