The Magic of faster Wi-fi

Devolo’s revolution­ary new Magic Whole-home-wifi Kit uses your home’s electrical circuit to boost your signal in every room. Here’s how it works…

-

What happens if you combine world-leading powerline technology with top-end mesh Wi-fi? You get Devolo’s new Magic range of adapters, promising to revolution­ise your home network with speeds up to 2.4Gbps (or 2,400Mbps) – double the previous maximum. No other powerline products go faster.

At these blistering speeds, you can run tomorrow’s technology today, transmitti­ng multiple 4K – or even 8K – videos throughout the home, simultaneo­usly and flawlessly.

The power of G.hn

Devolo’s latest generation of powerline adapters are based on the cutting-edge G.hn standard for home networks, which delivers data rates of over 2Gbps. They can handle line lengths up to 500 metres, easily converting any power socket into a high-speed internet access point. Once installed, they are the ultimate backbone for your home network, boosting its performanc­e, range and stability. G.hn standard does mean that the devolo Magic series is not compatible with older Powerline adapters.

‘Fast Roaming’ Wi-fi

Equipped with top-level mesh-wifi, every Magic product has new and improved wireless functions. The ‘Fast Roaming’ tool ensures all your devices, including laptops, smartphone­s and tablets, are always connected to the strongest Wi-fi connection. This guarantees the best speed and strongest signal as you move from room to room.

Other essential tools include ‘Config Sync’, which transfers a router’s Wi-fi configurat­ion data to every access point. Equally useful is ‘Airtime Fairness’, for prioritisi­ng the data requests of faster devices. This stops older devices, which may require more time for a download, from creating Wifi bottleneck­s.

Easier to install

It has never been easier to install powerlines. Once you’ve plugged in the first adapter, it will automatica­lly be paired with every other adapter you plug in within the next two minutes. You don’t need to press any other buttons.

Controllin­g the adapters is also easy using Devolo’s new ‘Home Network’ app. It has a simple interface and crystal-clear instructio­ns, guiding you step by step through installati­on. New features coming to the app include guest Wi-fi, parental controls and a speed test. On desktop PCS you can also use the browser version, devolo Cockpit
