Amplifi Alien alternative in India

Hi Folks

Looking for an alternative product with comparable features as the amplifi alien.

Objective: Need a router(preferred)/access point for extended the wifi coverage in an office. Budget is not really an issue since corp is paying for it, so something around 200/300 USD works.

Imp: The router/access point should not depend on cloud, such as unifi connect etc. It should be functional even without internet access and should support manual updates.

Current Considerations: GL Inet Flien 3e (Not sure how much it will cost post import), GWN7062E

Thanks

Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 will suit your use case scenario.

  1. It can be updated manually
  2. If you have a static IP, you can access it directly without cloud account and manage it. But you cannot manage it remotely if you are behind CG-NAT so having publicly routable IP is mandatory. Or access it locally.
  3. Yes it is definitely functional on LAN without internet access.

It costs $279 + $15 local US shipping. If you can use a forwarding service, customs and shipping can be managed for another $50 or get a relative to get it for you.

Unfortunately unifi is not allowed in our office setup due to the unifi cloud concerns that we have internally. Hence looking for alternatives.

Also looking at grandstream APs but their security updates (and support cycle) don’t seem great when compared to unifi/gl-inet

There are two options first get a UDR7 it has 10G WAN/LAN ports with PoE ports also you can run all UniFi network with APs and then second option will be UniFi express 7 both should be imported from US.

Unifi works perfectly without access to Unifi cloud. Also supports manual updates.
