Amplifi hd, amplifi instant and amplifi gamer's edition are compatible with each other but not with the alien line. Even though you can use two alien routers—at $380 each—to form a mesh, it makes more economic sense to get a router and mesh point combo. Includes a meshpoint for seamless wifi coverage expansion.
AmpliFi Alien Router and MeshPoint – Amplifi Wi-Fi
Now that i've already bought the alien router, is my only option to get a mesh point by using an additional alien router and change some settings to make it work as a mesh point?
Note the hd, instant and gamer models are compatible among themselves
But the alien devices are only compatible with the alien line Only standalone routers can be added as a ramp to an amplifi mesh network Please refer to the compatibility guide for details on possible ways to extend your network and a list of standalone devices. If my previous mentioning of the amplifi alien mesh portion sounded a bit like a tease, that’s because, at the time, i knew ubiquiti would release an alien kit but couldn’t talk about it
