The New Two-Piece Amplify Teleport Kit: A Game-Changer for Remote Work and Travel

The new two-piece amplify teleport kit is an innovative device that combines the functions of a router, Wi-Fi extender, and VPN, allowing users to access their home internet connection from anywhere in the world. The mesh router features a sleek design with a touch screen display, which may seem impressive at first glance, but unfortunately, its performance fell short of expectations.

Upon setting up the device with the app or browser, it was easy to connect the router to one's home network and bring the teleport device along when traveling. The latter plugs into a wall outlet and connects to any Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot, allowing users to instantly access their devices on their home network while using their home internet connection. This concept is indeed cool, but the device does have some limitations.

One of the main drawbacks of the teleport device is that it needs to be plugged in, which may seem old-fashioned compared to a battery-powered option. However, one aspect where the amplify teleport kit truly shines is in its app, which offers more customization options than the browser-based menu. Users can create separate networks and manually connect to different frequencies (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz), change channels and width, enable IPv6 band steering, and even locate their router using a special feature that makes it chiming in with a flash.

The app also includes features like manual network connection selection, which may be useful for users who want more control over their Wi-Fi settings. The device works seamlessly with the AC 1750 mesh device, but its performance fell short of expectations when compared to similar standards. In close range, it reached only 430 megabits per second, and dropped below 100 megabits per second at 50 feet.

When compared to other routers like the D-Link DIR 882, which performed significantly better (over 150 megabits per second at 50 feet), the amplify teleport kit's performance may seem underwhelming. The device's cost of $230 may also be considered a bit steep based on its performance. However, for users who travel frequently or need to upgrade their old routers, this two-piece kit may still be a good option.

For homes that require amplified satellite units (which can cost an additional $100 each), the teleport feature might not be worth the investment unless you really like it and want to use it. In such cases, the device's performance may not provide adequate coverage in smaller to medium-sized homes for the near future. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a reliable mesh router with a convenient teleport feature that can help you stay connected while traveling, this two-piece kit might be worth considering.
