Installation

The AmpliFi Router can be installed using one of the following methods:

  • AmpliFi app for iPhone®
  • AmpliFi app for AndroidTM
  • Connecting to the default AmpliFi wireless network (SSID) from a computer or tablet.

App Users
Download and install the AmpliFi app from the App Store or Google PlayTM Store.

If you are not using the app to install the AmpliFi Router, please skip step 1 and proceed to the following page.

  1. Launch the AmpliFi app.
    iPhone Users: Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. Android Users: Ensure that Wi- Fi is enabled.

  2. Power off your broadband modem.

  3. Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable to your broadband modem and the other end to the Internet port on the AmpliFi Router.

  4. Connect the Power Adapter to the power port on the AmpliFi Router.

  5. Connect the Power Adapter to a power outlet.

  6. Power on your broadband modem.

  7. App Users Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your AmpliFi Router.

Non-App Users Perform the following steps:

  • Tap the touchscreen on the AmpliFi Router.

  • Use a computer or tablet to connect to the unique wireless network (SSID) displayed on the screen of your AmpliFi Router.
    Please connect to this Wi-Fi Network

  • Launch a web browser and a portal will appear. Enter a new name for your wireless network and create a wireless password. Click Save & Continue.

  • Connect to the new wireless network that you’ve created from your computer or tablet.

Installing the Mesh Points

For best performance, the Mesh Points should be placed in different directions between the Router and the areas farthest from the Router. Mesh multi-hop should only be used when necessary as performance will degrade with each hop.

Mesh Point installation is optional and may not be necessary in smaller homes.

  1. Plug the Mesh Point into a power outlet.
  2. After about a minute, LEDs will reflect signal strength once the Mesh Point is connected to the Router.
  3. The Mesh Point antenna can be adjusted to provide optimal signal coverage for your location.

Tip: If a Mesh Point is powered on and has been configured with the app but does not appear online, try relocating the Mesh Point closer to the Router.

App Features

24/7 Live Chat Support

Live chat support is available within the app, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tap the icon in the upper left of the app and then tap Live Support.

Live chat is also available at help.amplifi.com by selecting Chat with us in the bottom right.

Resetting to Factory Defaults

If the AmpliFi Router administration password is lost, factory default settings can be restored. Use an object such as a straightened paper clip or pin to press the Reset located on the bottom of the AmpliFi Router for approximately 10 seconds until the LED turns off.

If the AmpliFi Router is reset, all Mesh Points should also be reset using the same method.
