Alien Router Out of Stock?
-
@Ryan-Hewitt Same. LOL. I got tired of waiting and ordered a UDM. I go the in-stock notification on the Alien just short of 1.5 hrs after ordering the UDM, but didn't see the notice for 28 mins, and they were already out of stock again. Officially giving up on the Alien. Looking forward (not) to repeating this process when the UDM-SE launches.
-
@raeyn I’ve been signed up for emails from the store for maybe two months or more. Never have gotten any notification. Only these forum update emails come in. Fortunately I don’t absolutely need it right now and I don’t really believe that they will be readily available until next year which is when I’ll start seriously checking the web site on a daily basis.

-
I JUST got the e-mail... hours after you guys did. Wasnt @UI-JT or @UI-Brett supposed to update this post and keep us in the loop? This is ridiculous.
-
@Mikey-Auskings Dream Machine? Those things look pretty nice.
-
@Ryan-Hewitt It appears Unifi is taking down links left and right, but supposedly it's a UDM in a black form factor with added PoE and integrated 1 TB HDD. I'd like to add Unifi Protect cameras, so ultimately, the UDM-SE, is what I'm after (if it comes out in the supposed leaked format).
-
UDM-SE is what?
Hi @Ryan-Hewitt - a rumored black color UDM with an Alien style LCD
-
@Jonathan-Greenwald I have to laugh right after I just posted that I have never gotten an email, one came in. Of course they are out of stock but at least I have one email after several months of none.
-
@John-Pappas I don’t get it. This company makes quite complicated and sophisticated technology, but they can’t figure out how to implement a preorder management system so their customers don’t get screwed and drive themselves crazy.
-
@Jonathan-Greenwald I figure by the time I could order one it will be the Alien II with all new capabilities.
-
@Mikey-Auskings I just saw it. Looks like it has 6 ethernet ports not including the WAN port and a nice LCD. If that does WiFi6 it would kill the Alien.
-
Hi @Ryan-Hewitt - rumor is only 802.11ac Wave2 internally (no 802.11ax)
-
@Ryan-Hewitt My impression is that it won't have WiFi 6, but the whole system is rumors now anyways. No real indication as to whether or not it will actually launch.
-
@raeyn I finally got one today @4:13pm eastern time. I have seen them stock after 4pm on Thursdays or fridays a few times now if this helps. I signed up for email updates on 2 address and never got a single stock update checked spam and everything... it's kind of disheartening to see the number on resale market
-
@matt-galiford I’m curious to know what everyone else’s reasons are for waiting to buy these routers. I get the WiFi 6 and it looks cool but there are other routers that do WiFi 6 and offer more for less. I mean I want one but lately I’ve felt like buying a better 802.11ac mesh system to replace my Airports. They just don’t seem to be penetrating my walls as well.
-
@Ryan-Hewitt to resell on ebay, duh
I'd like one because it suits my needs perfectly, and provides a scaling appropriately sized mesh network for my use. The Orbi WiFi 6 is reportedly buggy and inconsistent.
-
Hi @Ryan-Hewitt - the Alien is a nice improvement for Teleport (router-to-router & app) and the dedicated 5.2 GHz radio can benefit some HW Teleport users at the remote location
Otherwise use a UDM / UDM Pro as the primary router and add UAP6 access points when they ship for 802.11ax needs

Hello everyone, I've been trying to get an Alien for a few months now. Looks like many of you are in the same boat. lol. What's the deal? Does Amplifi not want our money? All jokes aside.. when are we actually going to see enough stock to purchase this thing? They should just email us a drop date, instead of having 1 random unit available for 3 seconds. I'm getting incredibly frustrated!
-
@Eric-Costa Sorry it sold out, we had much more than one unit available but they are selling very fast. Follow my thread for an alert. I always post when stock is getting listed.
-
@Jonathan-Greenwald This is the offical thread you will want to follow for email notifications on the community. We made this one for this reason, because other posts pop up that generate interest, but we can't catch them all and post when new inventory is available:
