    They carried over the disabled USB port to this model as well, I see.

    I wonder if you can purchase the router alone?

    Also, is the gamer router compatible with non-gamer mesh points?

    Response from UBNT:


    1. We won’t be selling the Gamer’s edition in conjunction with the Teleport. You can, however add a standalone Teleport to your system, it just won’t come as a Teleport/router kit already.

    2. Yes! You can add any standalone MeshPoint/MeshRouter from either the AmpliFi HD line or the AmpliFi Instant line to the Gamer’s Edition kit. As long as it is a standalone device, you can add it as an additional MeshPoint to expand the system. Does that make sense? This can be confusing for a lot of our customers. You can pair standalone devices to kits, but you can’t pair kits to kits (so you can’t buy two Gamer’s Edition kits and pair them together). This is simple because the kits are already paired together to enable a quick and seamless setup, but if you buy an unpaired device, you can easily pair it to the system.

    And an update followed..


    The Gamer’s Edition current firmware does not support Teleport, but a firmware update is planned in the near future to allow users to pair Teleport to their Gamer’s Edition router.

    Just want to clarify I have the Gamers edition and I can add a 3rd antenna or have to get another amplifi system all together

    This is a silly product. Its just QoS..which every router has anyway. So you are just buying a branded router that looks neat
  • ganeshts - Thursday, November 22, 2018 - link

    The external re-design (270 degree antenna placement) helps a bit compared to the standard mesh points. Also, the firmware changes (automatic optimization for services like GeForce NOW) are aimed to make the gaming QoS easy to use compared to the standard router.

    Most gaming routers are based on features like this. Unless you are an avid gamer, those products make very little sense to even consider. That said, the market segment is pretty big - considering that many vendors find it makes financial sense to deliver multiple generations of products to that segment.

    That's what gamers like, and buy. See: RGB craze.

    who games on WiFi anyway?
  • ganeshts - Saturday, November 24, 2018 - link

    The router has wired ports too. The selling point here is the app-based QoS control. Mesh networking / Wi-Fi extension is complementary.

    Mesh networking and whole-home Wi-Fi systems have become a major segment in the home networking market.
