Users of AmpliFi home wireless products from Ubiquiti Labs, can now benefit from the same secure, private, whole-home mesh Wi-Fi, whilst away, with the new AmpliFi Teleport app.
Free to all AmpliFi users, the AmpliFi Teleport app is a unique VPN software that protects users’ data and online presence by granting secure access to their home AmpliFi network, tunneling connections back home and masking the IP address. Unlike traditional VPN services, AmpliFi Teleport is based on one-to-one connectivity, making it more reliable where VPN servers that host many connections are blocked. Users can simply tap and connect to their home network.
Take your AmpliFi home network with you wherever you go
The AmpliFi Teleport app allows users to access their home network from anywhere in the world and enjoy the comforts of home such as:
- Browsing online news at a coffee shop.
- Finishing a work presentation while waiting for a flight at the airport.
- Watching movies from a hotel room
- Using mobile payment methods and online banking while running errands.
Secure your network whilst travelling
The AmpliFi Teleport app allows the freedom to use public or hotspot connections without the threat of privacy invasion, by securely encrypting the network connection on the user’s device to guard their private data and protect from hackers.
Share your network with friends and family
AmpliFi users can also grant access to friends and family to use their network through the AmpliFi app.
This can be shared by asking a friend or family member to download the AmpliFi Teleport app on their iOS or Android device. The user then generates an access code from app and sends to the friend using the sharing option. The friend/family member can then enter the code in the AmpliFi Teleport app to initiate the connection and gain access to the secure network.
Duration and devices limits can be set by the user.
How to set up AmpliFi Teleport:
1. Update your AmpliFi router and existing AmpliFi app.
2. Download the new AmpliFi Teleport app. This can be on your own device or whatever app-enabled device you plan to use AmpliFi Teleport.
3. In the AmpliFi app*, tap the drop down menu located on the upper left hand corner and select the “Generate Code” option to create a secure code to your AmpliFi network. From there, you can set a duration length (how long the device has time to connect before the code expires) and limit on the number of devices that can use the code.
4. Toggle the switch at the bottom of the screen to “On” to receive the connection code. You can then send the code via the “Share Code” option to anyone you want or use the code on your own device.
5. Once the code has been generated, switch over to the AmpliFi Teleport app and enter the code in the prompt. Your device will begin to connect to your AmpliFi home network and you’ll receive a prompt and notice an icon at the top of your device letting you know it is activated.
*You will need to enable “Remote Access” to generate code.
