Ubiquiti AmpliFi Instant Router (AFI-INS-R)

Ubiquiti AmpliFi Instant Router (AFI-INS-R) is a Ubiquiti router.

This listing carries no specification text, which is why this page describes the family rather than the exact configuration. Routers of the same model were frequently sold in several configurations differing in memory, interface cards, power supply and licensing, and those differences matter more than the model name does. We can pull the exact specification for this part number from the vendor’s own database before you order.

Three questions worth answering before any router purchase, whatever the model. What the throughput requirement actually is with your feature set enabled, rather than the datasheet figure measured without it. Whether the features you need are licensed as well as present, since on most platforms security and performance are separate entitlements. And how many slots or ports you will need in three years, because adding capacity is cheap and replacing a chassis is not.

Tell us what the router has to do, the circuits it has to terminate, the throughput you are designing to and whether you need the security features licensed. We would rather size it from the requirement than from a part number, because the two commonest mistakes on a router purchase are buying throughput that turns out to need a licence and buying a chassis with no slots left.

Green Code Technologies is a supplier of Ubiquiti, and we supply Cisco, Huawei and Juniper networking alongside HPE, Dell, Samsung, Netgear and Asus. We would rather tell you a part is no longer supported, or that we need to check it, than take an order for something that will not do what you need.
