Get fast, reliable Wi-Fi everywhere with devolo’s Magic 2 Wi-Fi next
Whole-Home Wi-Fi is a great concept, but not always an actual reality. Conventional Wi-Fi extenders can run into difficulties transmitting through floors and walls. This can lead to inconsistent Wi-Fi coverage in your home, with some areas being ‘dead zones’.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. It’s called ‘Powerline Wi-Fi’.
With Powerline Wi-Fi, a home’s in-wall electrical system serves as a wired network, connecting the router to Wi-Fi extenders plugged into the electrical sockets.
The advantage: The internet signal is not slowed down by walls and ceilings. Wherever there’s a power plug, there can be a Wi-Fi extender. This ensures that a Whole Home Wi-Fi solution actually covers the whole home, bringing Wi-Fi reliably where you need it
German equipment manufacturer devolo has refined Powerline Wi-Fi to deliver fast, reliable broadband throughout the entire home. devolo Magic 2 Wi-Fi next is the company’s newest and most advanced powerline Mesh Wi-Fi product. It has just been introduced into the US market.
Full coverage, easy to install
Picture the magic of true Whole Home coverage for all of your Wi-Fi-connected devices, with no dropouts or slow data connections- and it is simple to install, too
Built upon the latest generation of powerline technology (G.hn), Magic 2 Wi-Fi next is easy to set up using the devolo Home Network app. This setup can be done using the home’s existing router: Just plug in one or more Magic 2 Wi-Fi next powerline adapters as required, log your Wi-Fi devices into the home network, and everything is online.
Multiple features for better performance
devolo Magic 2 Wi-Fi next comes with lots of built-in performance-enhancing features. They begin with devolo’s use of mesh Wi-Fi technology. Instead of using independent extenders connected to the main network, mesh Wi-Fi architecture combines them all into a single wireless network -- working together to cover the whole home.
Meanwhile, MU-MIMO (Multiple User - Multiple Input Multiple Output) features ensure that every device on the Wi-Fi network enjoys optimal bandwidth and data speeds at all times.
Other big Magic 2 WiFi next advantages include Access Point Steering and Client Steering. As a connected device progresses throughout the home, Magic 2 WiFi next adapters employ both technologies to keep handing off the device to the nearest, most optimal access point.
Two other Magic 2 WiFi pluses:
One last bonus: Each Magic 2 Wi-Fi next adapter comes with two bottom-located gigabit LAN ports built-in, for those who prefer to use ethernet cables.
