Alien Router Out of Stock?
-
@UI-Brett I have been refreshing this on a near half hour basis for the past month and i never seem to get lucky. A pre-order list with committed $$ seems prudent...
-
Looking forward to the next wave. I was going to buy one for my bday but not anymore.

Good Afternoon. Like so many others, I have been waiting for any type of ETA or Notification on the Amplifi Alien. None of us want to pay the $600-750 that the unscrupulous scalpers are asking for on E-Bay and others. Please just give us a ballpark idea of re-stocking. Minutes, Hours, Days, Years, etc, etc. Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can supply. Pun Intended!

PSA - contacted sales support and they heavily recommended not procuring a price gouged Alien from ebay, Amazon, or offer up. See below:
*Thank you for your email. We understand your frustration. This is a hot item right now as I am sure you are aware. Regardless of how much we put into the market, it goes VERY quickly. We should see this become more consistently available over the coming months. It is still a relatively new item, so stock levels are still building.
It is not recommended to purchase through a 3rd party seller as this would not be covered by the warranty.*

I agree with others that a better way is needed. I suggest that you maintain a waitlist. Collect a deposit or give a short suspense to buy or lose the opportunity. But it’s a two way street As well. As customers, we expect some assurance too.

This!
People who do retail arbitrage use bots to buy the products. Think of the Nintendo Switch or concert tickets. Humans stand no chance! lol

Hi @MichaelE - does it work to add one of those annoying “I am not a robot” tests to confirm the purchase?
-
@Derek-Saville I bet when money is involved there are no hurdles not worth overcoming lol
-
@MichaelE The Gamers Edition is looking more tempting the longer I wait. I lose hope every morning.
-
@Ryan-Hewitt I go from naw, I will wait for 6e to yeah that will probably take another year, to naw I should wait, to yeah lets do this... Luckily (??) every time I want to pull the trigger it is out...
-
@MichaelE They ratified 6e today. Alien doesn't have that hardware installed though so will they make a newer version that will then be sold out for even longer?
-
@Ryan-Hewitt Does this obsolete the Alien before I can even get it?
-
With 6e out, now I wonder the same thing... will AmpliFi be able to easily and quickly outfit the Alien router with the new chips, or would they keep the existing model and release a new model with the newer chip (Alien 6E, for example)?
-
@Jonathan-Greenwald Assuming they don't have the hardware to FW upgrade them to 6ghz technically yes it does. However, this is a new specification and it could be a long time before we see a large device pool that supports it.
I wonder if we truly won't see the benefit from it for at least 2 years? How long did it take for AC to make an impact? But given today's demands, does that even matter lol.
-
Wouldn’t any ‘6E’ Alien already be obsoleted by the 802.11be WiFi-7 version?
-
@Derek-Saville Yeeeaaarrsss away... lol

Got an email at 1:32 that stock was available. Checked at 1:55 and it was all gone. So annoying.
-
@Ryan-Hewitt I guess you’re lucky that you got an email about it at all. I’m signed up (accidentally) with two different email addresses to get notified but I never got any notification at all. Really frustrating.
-
@Ryan-Hewitt I got that email too at 3:33pm by that time the units were gone already. What saved me was the email I got from the post I am following from @UI-JT. I got that email at 3:03pm clicked it and bought it from my phone on a parking lot..... 20min later they were gone.... try following that post maybe it will help next time ....Good luck
