There are many other features that will make your life easier, such as the integrated power plug pass-through function on all power adapters included in the Magic 2 WiFi Kit. Devolo claims that the Magic 2 WiFi Next Kit can do all of these things. This WiFi solution kit will be examined in greater detail. We'll give an overview of the pros and cons and determine if they are worth it.
What is a powerline adapter?
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next provides a home internet solution that is power-line capable. The Magic 2 WiFi sends internet WiFi signals using the power lines within your house. This is a far better option than WiFi sent through walls. WiFi can lose a lot its power when it is sent to brick walls, thick walls, or over large areas. The Devolo Magic WiFi Kit is a great solution. This home solution kit can be used to prevent any loss of internet speed and connectivity.
Powerline adapters are very simple and can greatly increase the strength of your WiFi signal. Powerline adapters are a great way to ensure strong coverage throughout your home, even in cases of dead zones. Your home's electrical wiring is connected to powerline cables, which transmit WiFi signals. These signals are much more frequent than the AC frequency, which typically ranges between 50-60Hz. An adapter can be connected to the router. This will allow you to set up additional access points in your home that are more stable than wired ones.
These are the main reasons why Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next is primarily used by those who have a large home. People who have thicker or brickier walls that cause WiFi signal loss. It is an excellent product for anyone who uses WiFi to play online games and wants to prevent any delay or lag caused by a slow internet connection. This product will be a premium item due to the high price. However, it is more accessible to the wealthy who are able to afford more to enjoy the Magic 2 WiFi's quality features. The product's greatest or most important feature is the ability to use your existing electrical wiring to establish an internet network.
The Devolo Magic 2 WiFi is now unboxed
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next comes in a box that is white with blue accents. Three powerline adapters are displayed on the box's front. The box contains a manual and three powerline adapters. There is also an Ethernet cable. It is simple to open the box, as it only needs to be opened from one side. The Devolo Magic 2 WiFiNext kit is also contained in the box. The box contains the following items:
- Power line adapter for three
- A ethernet cable
- User manual
Design
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Kit includes three powerline adapters. All three powerline adapters have a rectangular form. The one adapter that is smaller than the others, but identical in their size, is slightly different. The top of each power line adapter has two Ethernet cable slots. The smaller adapter has only one ethernet slot. This is the main difference in the adapters.
The adapters also have a pass-through for a power plug. The plug for the adapter is directly next to it. The power plug makes it easy to plug in adapters and saves socket space. Above the rectangular adapters, the Magic WiFi name is displayed. It is the controller, and the smaller adapters are the extenders.
The ethernet cables slots are located at the top power line adapters. You must plug the cables in at this point. The adapter will have a very unsavory finish because the wires that come out of the top run downwards. It is important to have a method to control the wires that come out of the top, rather than them just falling across the adapters.
These dimensions measure 152 mm by 76 mm and 40 mm respectively, width x height x depth. These dimensions do not include the plugs. All adapters have a white color. Three-pin adapters have a plug. These units don't have a lot of flair so don't expect them to be noticed. The device units can be a little bulky once they are connected.
Installation Process
Although the installation can seem complicated at times, it's not nearly as difficult as you might imagine. This is because the setup and device are not compatible with each other. The Magic 2 units won't work with any older Devolo units, so each adapter will need to be new. Although the user manual is included with your kit, it can prove confusing and frustrating to read. Unfortunately many people have reported that this manual has made their lives more difficult.
The installation and configuration of the Devolo Magic Wi-Fi Next are very simple. First, connect the smaller controller (or first) unit via Ethernet cable to your router. After you place them in your home or office, the controller unit must be connected to all other units. The units all have pass-through built in which is very useful as it ensures that no power cord goes unconnected. The Devolo Magic 2 WiFi's pass-through socket is the best way to connect your router.
Although the procedure may seem simple, it can be difficult for many people to get their units working together. It could be an app bug, or it might be that you didn't connect the main controller. The process of starting the Devolo Home Magic 2 will be tedious for many people. Everything will go smoothly once you do it correctly, and you'll eventually.
The app
Devolo has an app that allows you to access your home internet. The app plays an important role in the setup and the use of your units. It will recognize all units that are part of your network and create a connection between them. The first time you run the app, things might be slow.
You can control, monitor and even modify network settings using the app. The app allows you to set up your SSID passwords and change the names or networks that you want. You also have control over your speed. Some very helpful features include a data limiter to children and guest mode that allows them to connect without having the Wi-Fi password. Devolo Magic 2 is best controlled and used fully via the app. If you're the kind of person that enjoys these features, there are many possibilities.
These are the features
The passthrough socket is one of the first things that you will notice when you take a look at Magic 2 WiFi powerline adapters. This socket will save you the hassle of wasting a socket when you insert your adapters. The adapter can be used to plug any device into it. It will function exactly the same way as if the original socket was used. You don't have to be concerned about whether your device will work with the socket, even if you use a 3-pin plug.
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi WiFi is currently the best mesh powerline WiFi system. Mesh WiFi refers to a network of WiFi setups or adapters that are connected and share the same password. The WiFi adapters are switched from one to another depending on the one that gives the fastest signal and speeds at each spot.
If you don't get as fast internet speeds from one adapter than you do from the other, your WiFi adapter will be automatically switched. This internet service is ideal for those who live in large houses or hotels. This is the internet connection that connects to all rooms.
We have often mentioned power line WiFi as a WiFi system capable of transmitting WiFi signals through the buildings' power lines. It is possible for signals to be lost if sent through walls, especially thick ones. This is avoided by the power line WiFi capabilities. Devolo Magic 2 WiFiNext kit is an excellent example of how a powerline system optimizes WiFi signals for all parts of your house better than any normal WiFi router. Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next kit will connect your devices to the closest wifi signal unit. This is a way to ensure you receive the strongest signals possible and thus get the fastest speeds.
Each mode of the white LED on the Magic 2 WiFi indicates a particular model. The Magic 2 WiFi will blink continuously if the LED becomes white. This indicates that the Magic 2 WiFi has entered WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) mode. WiFi Protected Setting mode allows you to ensure a safe WiFi network without having to go into detail. The White LED will turn off if the WiFi function has been disabled. If it is on, the WiFi network is active and in use. If the LED stays on, that means WiFi has been turned on and active. The LED will also be on. It is your choice whether to turn the white LED off or on.
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi is not cheap with all of its benefits. This product is quite costly in comparison to other WiFi kits and supplementing devices. It is considerably more expensive than the Devolo WiFi home kit. However, it is still an excellent home internet solution. There are cheaper options, but the Magic 2 WiFi is more expensive than the Devolo home WiFi kit. If you have the budget and the desire to solve your internet speed/signal problems, the Magic 2 WiFi Kit is the right choice.
Test Methodology
We carefully placed adapters so that we could test the Devolo Magic 2 WiFi. These are the areas in which you have very low speed, or none at all. This is exactly what Devolo Magic 2 WiFi does. This WiFi builds on the existing connections you already have to ensure you get the fastest speeds possible.
First, you need to set up the adapters. You will connect your router to the main adapter, which you can find labeled 'Lan1-1'. It is a good idea to connect the router and Lan1-1 adapter using the pass-through socket provided by the adapter. Next, place the 2 other WiFi adapters where they are most appropriate. After detecting all devices, the app creates a network using the powerline adapters. It takes just a minute to do this.
We conducted speed tests to determine upload and download speeds. We have average upload and download speeds of 20Mbps and 213Mbps, respectively, under the contract we have with this ISP.
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi adapters support download speeds up to 2400 Mbit/second. This is only a theoretical limit. Powerline adapters use the electrical wiring in your home, so the speed can change depending on how good the wiring is.
The Iperf Throughput test
We tested the upload and download throughput using iperf3. Tests were conducted with and without Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next. You must set up the connection for both client and server on the same network in order to run iperf test.
We first tested the upload/download functionality without Devolo. This resulted at 171Mbits/second upload. The download results are 135Mbits per second.
We reran the Iperf tests after switching to Devolo's powerline network. The results are available below, for download and upload.
You will notice a significant increase in upload speed and download speeds after you switch to Devolo Magic 2 WiFi.
Speed Test
We chose a place where it was most difficult to get WiFi signals, while still connected to an existing network for the speed test. Ookla performed the SpeedTest by connecting first to an existing router, then switching to the Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Next adapter. Below is an example of the dramatic improvement.
The router was connected to our network and we observed a ping time of 8ms, download speed of 49.85 Mb, upload speed of 20.11 Mb, and download speed of 49.85 Mb.
The Devolo WiFi adapter was able to provide a 10 ms ping, download speeds of 93.31Mbps and upload speeds of 21.09Mbps. Although the upload speed did not see much improvement, it was mainly due to ISP agreements and other factors which restrict it. However, download speeds improved significantly from 50 to 93 Mb/s.
Performance
The Devolo Magic 2 WiFi set is one of the most powerful powerline WiFi solutions in the world. Devolo really improved their product and ensured that it offered the highest possible internet connectivity while still covering large areas. Mesh WiFi works flawlessly and seamlessly. Devolo software is used to set up the Magic 2 WiFi Kit. Devolo is very helpful in setting up your device.
There are many quality-of-life features, as well as standard internet features. One of the problems people encountered with the Devolo software was the inability to recognize the device. The software may not recognize the device immediately. Once they are, you can begin personalizing the items to your specifications.
To set up your password, you can use Devolo software. It is possible to set up guest WiFi networks or modify the power line adapter settings. To get a better understanding of each setup's speed, you can monitor internet speeds and transfer rates from the various power adapters. These units can stream, download, and watch movies at speeds of up to 2400Mbps.
This is a great WiFi solution for increasing internet speeds over larger areas. It also gives you an easy way to control the set-up via Devolo.
