Mesh made Magic

Get impeccable connectivi­ty in one seamless network, using the best of wired and wireless, with devolo Magic

Mesh Wi-fi is the next step in home networking, and trumps traditiona­l Wi-Fi in every way. It’s faster, it’s stronger, it’s more stable, and it can reach even the furthest corners of your home. With devolo Magic, you can go one further. It’s much more than mesh: Magic combines devolo’s extensive expertise in powerline networking with ultra-high performanc­e mesh Wi-Fi technology, meaning you can feasibly get a flawless signal anywhere there’s a power socket.

Imagine the scene. You’re itching to binge the latest season of your favourite show. You settle down on your sofa, open up your laptop and, 10 seconds in, the episode is skipping and glitching because you just don’t have adequate Wi-Fi signal. Of course, maybe you don’t have to imagine – it happens way too often!

With devolo Magic, this doesn’t have to be the case. You can set up a mesh Wi-Fi node precisely where you need it. The ability to use powerline networking means the connection between devolo Magic’s nodes won’t be interrupte­d by walls or floors, and unlike traditiona­l mesh networking it doesn’t waste any wireless bandwidth on communicat­ion between the nodes. Each node also has its own wired LAN ports, so you can hook up your consoles and streaming boxes without needing to rely on Wi-Fi at all.

Mesh Wi-Fi sounds like it’d be complex, but setup with devolo Magic couldn’t be easier. Just plug in and configure the main node next to your router. When you then hook up a new node, it’ll pull in everything it needs to know about your network automatica­lly, configurin­g the new corner of your network for you. It’s seamless and secure; and additional Magic adapters will integrate cleanly with your existing network, so you don’t need to enter any new passwords or create a new SSID. It’s ready to go – and intelligen­t fast roaming means your mobile devices will always connect to the devolo Magic node with the strongest connection strength, wherever you are in the house.

Forget any notions you might have had about the speed of powerline networks. This is the next level of Wi-Fi speed, based on the G.hn networking protocol. Opt for the devolo Magic 1, and you’ll be able to achieve network speeds of up to 1.2Gbps, while the devolo Magic 2 doubles this up to 2.4Gbps and offers a pair of gigabit LAN sockets to boot. That’s more than enough capacity for multiple 4K streams – or even 8K – in your home, glitch-free. Each Magic node broadcasts a combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11ac signal, so your devices will choose the strongest signal.

You can pick up devolo Magic LAN adapters online or from your favourite retailers – they’re available as single nodes, a two-pack Starter Kit or the three-node Whole Home Wi-Fi Kit for full coverage. Check out devolo.co.uk to find out more. Your network deserves a bit of Magic.
