Our Verdict
AmpliFi Alien
UniFi Dream Router 7
The AmpliFi Alien and the UniFi Dream Router 7 are tri-band routers from two of Ubiquiti's product lines. The AmpliFi has a 2.4GHz and two 5GHz bands, while the UniFi has a 2.4GHz, a 5GHz, and a 6GHz band. Performance-wise, the UniFi has better top speeds, while the AmpliFi has better range. Otherwise, the UniFi has a much more robust feature set with highly configurable software and faster wired networking ports, while the AmpliFi is a consumer product with fewer configuration options.
