the new two-piece amplify teleport kit is part router part Wi-Fi extender and part VPN it allows you to use your home internet connection from anywhere in the world the mesh router looks pretty cool with its touch screen display but I wasn't impressed by the speed and range and it lacks some standard features you find on new routers like beamforming and mu my mouth set up with the app or a browser was very easy just connect the router to your home network and bring the teleport device with you when you travel it plugs into the wall and connects to any Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot after you log in you can instantly access any device on your home network and you'll actually be using your home internet connection pretty cool concept that was executed very well by an amplifier the only problem with the teleport device is that it needs to be plugged in I think every charge of a battery would have made it much more convenient the most surprising feature of the amplified teleport kit was that the app actually had way more customization options than the browser-based menu and it was super easy to use you can create separate networks so you can manually connect to 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz you can change the channel and width and you can enable ipv6 band steering and router Stevie so amplify included this kind of ridiculous feature in the app which will let you locate your router just by hitting a button it'll make a chime in flash but I don't know who's gonna lose their router when it's still plugged in the teleport only works with an amplifier router though and the AC 1750 mesh device I tested was lacking in speed and range compared to routers with similar standards it only reached 430 megabits per second at close range and dropped below a hundred megabits per second at 50 feet on old fans a router like the d-link dir 882 performed in more than 150 megabits per second at 50 feet the amplified teleport kit costs $230 which i think is a little high based on the routers performance but if you travel a lot need to upgrade your old router and the teleport feature appeals to you this two piece kit will get the job if you already have an amplifier outer the teleport device is only $100 larger homes may need some amplified satellite units which costs an additional hundred dollars each but if you really like the teleport feature this able fine mesh router should give you adequate coverage in a small to medium sized home for the near future
