Unlike other routers that only have annoying blinking lights, the AmpliFi Alien can show anything from current network devices and internet status to the processor and memory loads. Happily, the AmpliFi Alien doesn’t have a bulky external AC adapter. By contrast, the MeshPoint node only has the LED ring.īoth have soft rubber feet and a cut-out in the back for routing the WAN connection and power cord. At any time, it’s easy to reduce the screen and the LED ring’s brightness. If this is too much, the night mode can shut down the screen and LED ring independently on a daily schedule.
