Hi
I have used the mesh router in our cottage for a while now, works perfectly.
So, now i want to swap router at home. Is it possible to have more than one router in the iPhone app even though they are separated from each other, diffrent locations ?

@gert-lindstrom You can manage both networks from anywhere, as long as you have remote access enabled on each network.
This article will show you how to enable that, and you can link both networks to the same Google or Facebook account.

@ubnt-brett Ok, just to be clear. Its two different locations totally separated from each other. Different SSID, ip scope etc.
When i connect the the router i see it in the app and add a name for it.Then the router goes to "Configuring" and shut down the internet port (switch port LED goes off). Its in the "Configuring" mode forever. Maybe I'm not patient enough but 15 ,minutes ?
I can set it up outside the app, that works fine.

@gert-lindstrom I hope this helps. In the photo, it shows that I do not have remote access enabled, but I accessed this menu by selecting the three line menu button in the top left of the screen. From there, enable remote access. Once its been enabled (on both networks by being on location and doing this task twice) you can select "Switch AmpliFi" and all of your remote access enabled networks will appear for you to switch between.
