About the AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router
Note: This product does not employ a high-availability failover model (active-passive, active-active, or VRRP); it is a standalone cloud-managed router designed for primary network connectivity rather than redundant deployment architectures.
The AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router (part number AFi-R-PS-US) by Ubiquiti combines routing and Power over Ethernet switching in a single desktop unit, purpose-built for small-to-medium deployments requiring integrated network access and device power delivery. This cloud-managed router features 1 × Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and 4 × Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports with PoE output capability, enabling direct powering of AmpliFi MeshPoints and other compatible PoE-enabled devices without separate injectors. The device operates dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz concurrent bands, delivering flexible wireless coverage options for both legacy and modern client devices. Management occurs entirely through the AmpliFi mobile application (available on iOS and Android) and cloud-based remote management, eliminating the need for on-premises controllers and simplifying deployment for network engineers and IT procurement teams managing distributed locations.
Ubiquiti's AmpliFi ecosystem supports wireless mesh expansion through compatible AmpliFi MeshPoints and additional AmpliFi routers, allowing organizations to scale coverage without backbone cabling. Guest network functionality provides isolated SSIDs with bandwidth controls, protecting primary network traffic while accommodating visitor and contractor access. The AFi-R-PS-US operates as a cloud-managed device, centralizing configuration and monitoring across multiple sites through a single management interface.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- Small office or branch location requiring integrated routing and PoE power for wireless access points
- Retail or hospitality venue combining primary network connectivity with managed guest Wi-Fi access
- AmpliFi mesh network expansion hub, powering MeshPoints while serving as the primary gateway
- Cloud-managed multi-site deployment where centralized monitoring and remote configuration are required
- Facilities needing PoE-powered devices without dedicated switch infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions about AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router
What does the AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router do?
The AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
Is the AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router compatible with my infrastructure?
The AmpliFi PowerSwitch Router interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
