@dingding003 Yes you can use two AmpliFi HD routers (AFI-R) and mesh them together for your network. They can be meshed wirelessly, or wired with the ethernet backbone feature.
A full compatibility guide for what AmpliFi products can mesh together can be found here: Which AmpliFi Model is Best For My Home

@UI-Brett , it is so cool
According to the instruction, the RAMP wired to the AmpliFi router directly. And in my network here, I have used ER-X as the main router, which is connected with Modem. Both two AFI-R have been connected to ETH1 and ETH2. In this case, the RAMP still could work?

@dingding003 You would place the primary AmpliFi router into bridge mode, to allow your ER-X to still run as the primary, then mesh the second AmpliFi router and enable ethernet backbone. Ideally, we recommend connecting the RAMP to the primary AmpliFi router, but I have seen success connecting the RAMP to the primary router (In this case, your EdgeRouter).

@UI-Brett Perfect. I will have a try.

@UI-Brett Yes, I have tried last night. The mesh network did work now. Thanks for the help.
