Overview
The Ubiquiti AFi-INS-US is an AmpliFi Instant dual-band mesh Wi-Fi system consisting of an AmpliFi Instant Router and one MeshPoint. The router provides a touchscreen interface, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking, while the MeshPoint extends wireless coverage through the AmpliFi mesh system.
Wireless Networking
The system operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using 2x2 MIMO. The specified wireless rates are up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. The system supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless standards.
Router and MeshPoint
The primary router includes one Gigabit Ethernet WAN interface and one Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface. It incorporates a 1.21-inch capacitive grayscale touchscreen with a 160 x 64 resolution for local status and configuration functions. The included MeshPoint provides wireless mesh connectivity and one Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface.
Mesh Deployment
The AFi-INS-US is supplied as a router-and-MeshPoint system. Additional AmpliFi MeshPoints can be added to expand wireless coverage within the supported AmpliFi ecosystem. The MeshPoint can also provide Ethernet connectivity for a wired client at its location.
Key Features
- Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz.
- 2x2 MIMO wireless operation on both frequency bands.
- AmpliFi Instant Router with 1.21-inch capacitive grayscale touchscreen.
- Included MeshPoint for extending wireless network coverage.
- Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on the router and MeshPoint.
Applications
The AFi-INS-US is designed for residential and small-network deployments requiring a centrally managed dual-band wireless network with an additional mesh access point. The included MeshPoint can be positioned separately from the router to extend wireless coverage and provide local Ethernet connectivity.
DC Supplies Product Note
The AFi-INS-US is a complete router-and-MeshPoint kit rather than a standalone router. When replacing or expanding an existing AmpliFi deployment, verify compatibility with the AmpliFi Instant ecosystem and distinguish this US model from regional variants.
