Overview
The Ubiquiti AFi-INS-R-US is the US version of the AmpliFi Instant Router, a dual-band Wi-Fi router designed for residential and small-network deployments. It combines 802.11ac wireless networking with one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, one Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, and an integrated capacitive touchscreen for local status and control.
Wireless Connectivity
The router provides simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless connectivity with 2x2 MIMO on both bands. Ubiquiti specifies wireless speeds of up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. The supported Wi-Fi standard is 802.11ac, with backward support for 802.11a/b/g/n data rates.
Ethernet and Management
The AFi-INS-R-US provides one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 WAN interface and one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN interface. A 1.21-inch capacitive grayscale touchscreen provides a 160 x 64 display for local device information and interaction. A reset button is also provided.
AmpliFi Mesh Compatibility
The AmpliFi Instant Router can operate as the primary router in an AmpliFi mesh deployment. Ubiquiti identifies the AFi-INS-R as the router component of the AmpliFi Instant system, which can be paired with compatible AmpliFi MeshPoints for expanded wireless coverage.
Key Features
- Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with up to 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps at 5 GHz.
- 2x2 MIMO operation on both wireless frequency bands.
- One Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and one Gigabit Ethernet LAN port.
- 1.21-inch capacitive grayscale touchscreen with 160 x 64 resolution.
- AmpliFi mesh capability for use with compatible MeshPoints.
Applications
The AFi-INS-R-US is intended for home and small-network installations requiring a compact dual-band wireless router with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It can also serve as the router component of a compatible AmpliFi mesh deployment.
DC Supplies Product Note
The AFi-INS-R-US is the router-only model, not the complete AFi-INS-US router-and-MeshPoint kit. The US designation is also important when selecting the unit for a US-market deployment because wireless regulatory characteristics can vary between regional versions.
