Right, assuming Option 61 isn't at the end of that page all you can really do is make a request to the manufacturer for a firmware revision.

Just had a G search. Looks like UI don’t supprt it on their routers WAN interface…or at least didn’t 2 years ago:

Hi mike

Your best bet is to follow the skyuser forums for setting up your own router with Sky. (Not the official forum)

You can now use any random number in the login prefix, as long as its in the correct format,

Also as mentioned above this needs to be in hex format for option 61 on the Amplifi HD

Obviously ensure you are running 3.0.0 firmware.

Isn't Ubiquiti's stuff all Linux under the hood? You could likely get it to work if you were willing to tinker with it a bit.

Admittedly never been my fave / go-to manufacturer for routers. Access points and wireless gear different matter...

What FW version are you running?

You may see more options via a desktop browser interface rather than phone.

Latest firmware

3.6.2

I can see DHCP option 61

Actually ignore that, there is no option 61.

Can you configure it via a general web portal - or is it only via the app?

Yes but this option isn't there either. I've asked on the router forum. Sounds like it might only be available for detain models.

It's looking that way...

See, Documentation -> Firmware Release Notes in the link:
https://help.amplifi.com/hc/en-us#h_c7bcaac6-84b5-4c...

For your AmpliFi Alien:
v3.2.0 - Added support for AmpliFi Alien

Can't see specific mention in subsequent updates for DHCP Option 61 (Client ID) support, as there is below for the AmpliFi HD, Instant and Gamer Edition - although it may be implied that its grandfathered from the v3.0.0 update...though note the *carveout when the feature was introduced in the earlier models.

For the AmpliFi HD, Instant and Gamer Edition:
v3.0.0 (12-Jun-19)
Guest Network in bridge mode
Friend Network *
Option to bypass internet pause for a single device *
Wi-Fi protected setup using mobile app *
Added DHCP Option 61 (Client ID) support *
Support for TR-069
Guest devices are now accessible via LAN
Added AmpliFi Instant and Gamer's edition support for Teleport
Security updates and stability improvements
Performance enhancements
Minor bug fixes
* Some functionality will be enabled with future app updates
