Alien with Teleport Hardware
-
Will the new Alien support the older Teleport device?
-
@david-jennings No, the Alien will only utilize the Teleport app and the Teleport Router to Router feature. You can Teleport from an Alien router to an HD route and vice versa.

@ui-brett thanks. Can the router to router feature be used in place of the old Teleport device? As in I set it up and then I can take one of the routers on the road and have it connect to a wireless network and connect back a HD device and then either broadcast an SSID or have an Ethernet handoff that I can connect to an AP?

Yes it can. You can use any AmpliFi router either at another set location or to take with you on your travels and communicate with a the Primary AmpliFi router at your home. This feature does indeed work with the Alien, most portable solution being the AmpliFi Instant.
You actually don't need to set the portable router up before hand, all you need to ensure is that you have remote access configured and enabled on your home router before you travel.

@ui-brett ok great. And that unit can connect back to the HD without any issues? That might be a better solution for me than the Teleport but will give both a try.
-
@david-jennings That is correct, as long as remote access is enabled before you travel because that will be needed to generate the Teleport code required.
