devolo Magic 2–2400 Wi-Fi 6: Whole Home Kit | 4k/ 8k UHD Streaming | Stable Home Working (Up to 2400 Mbps powerline & 1800 Mbps Mesh WiFi 6, G.hn, 5x Gb LAN ports)

Bought to replace my failing dLan set up - had given 5+ years of service with one plug failure but was often a pain to reset/reboot when needed (too often). Debated but decided to stick with Devolo, glad I did. These were so easy to set up and add to - just plug in, add network details, and wait a few mins. All good so far, speeds up a bit but not massively, main limit is the part fibre 60 odd feed. Now have 3 wifi plus one non and all work 100% - need as internal walls have blocks with high metal content.... Expensive, almost twice that of the equivalent(ish) competition but I'm happy with both ease of set up and functioning now installed.

So nearly decade later and AV2 Homeplug Powerline has moved over for the ITU G.hn standard. I decided to buy the wired version (too many reviews of pain with the WiFi) and give them a go. They worked out of the box, and I had no issues during set-up. They did require a firmware update, but that was about it. To be clear, I bought a Devolo Magic2 LAN Triple. This contains ONE triple port, and ONE single port adapter. I think the box art on this is very deceptive. The triple port adapter is slightly bigger than the single port, both are bigger than AV2 and both run much hotter - for better or worse. Also, I ordered an Amazon Warehouse deal, and the first one Amazon sent didn't actually have any triple port Magic2 in the box (just two single port ones) , so I had to return and re-order. I've discovered they're happy to run in parallel to AV2 adapters without any noticeable loss, and bizarrely the Devolo Cockpit software even spots AV2 and Magic2 adapters. There's also web-page access to the adapters via their ip address, and the ability a set password if you don't trust people on your network. The iPhone Home Network app is okay - but it doesn't display any link speed information despite telling you it will. In tests at range I discovered a few surprises. AV2 is in the same location for reference, tests using iperf3: - TP-Link AV2 600 Two-Port ~16Mb/s (appears to split bandwidth across both ports rather than share it) - TP-Link AV2 600 Single-Port ~32Mb/s - Magic2 Single and Triple Port ~80Mb/s If range is reduced, speeds jump quite quickly up to 200Mb/s and then on to about 350Mb/s if distances are close. As a rule, expect 150 to 200Mb/s in a new-build four bedroom, but be prepared for slower. You'll still beat an AV2, but it might only be on range, or a factor of two. And in some cases, I suspect AV2 1300 will beat the Magic2, but not necessarily if you have older AV2 kit mixed with new stuff, which is why I was testing the Magic2. Will I keep them? Well that depends on whether they're stable. They solved my problem and increased my setup by speeds by about 7 or 8 times. I'm concerned about the temperature they run at (50C on the back, 35C on the front, 0.3A@240V = 7W), but they do have a three year warranty in case they melt down though. Note - if you're looking for adding WiFi Access Points to parts of your house, I wouldn't recommend the Magic2, simply because you'll be crippling any broadband gains you may be looking for, go for WiFi Mesh and Access Points with a dedicated third back-channel, or run Cat6 cabling (budget vs effort). The Magic2 is about easy of use, and getting the best out of something while doing very little. It does achieve this very well. Better than AV2 600 for sure, but it's not a "magic" bullet (sorry - groan now).

Bought this to get broadband into a detached garage, primarily to have video while using treadmill and to reach security cameras. Worked ok except either treadmill or fridge freezer would impact the signal to the extent that videos would pause and become unwatchable. Switched the config from MIMO to SISO and that lowered the speed but signal became rock solid and still plenty fast enough for video and cameras. I did switch off the wifi signal on the devolo and replaced with a more powerful dedicated wifi to improve range beyond the garage. Been working for 3 years now, and does the job it was intended for.

I have used Powerline adapters for many years, always TP link because that is all I knew and to be fair they always worked. My house wiring is a mix of old and new and the main reason I have the Power line adapters is for my business in a seperate garage. I have never had a problem with consistency of signal with TP links and only changed from 500's to 1300's to increase band width. 5 Years on from my last upgrade to the 1300's I thought I'd look into the subject again and discovered the Devolo Magic2 2400 units and claims of fastest etc etc and the app looked practical so thought, right I'll give it a go. They install and pair very much the same as the TP Links and I did gain around 5 to 10Mbps over the 1300 TP Links in the workshop although the PING went up from around 9ms to around 12ms but ultimately no a big deal. HOWEVER, I use my connection for a online eSports where PING and consistency is far more important than band width. Whilst internet speed looked great, in an online race I started getting packet loss warnings and other network connection issues, something I've never had before! Two weeks of settings changes within the Devolo App, PC software, relocating plugs, checking Firmware, restarting and rebooting Routers and Magic 2's with no significant reliability gain followed. In the end I thought I cannot risk this again, so changed back to my old TP Link 1300's and straight away, 9ms PING and ZERO Packet loss or connection issue warnings. I contacted Devolo who passed the buck to Amazon who pass the buck to an automated system that goes no further than requesting a return but never actually allowing me to activate a return. I've chnaged every possible setting within my PC, I've checked Firmwares, Unit Pairing and Low and high power modes and the only minor improvement was returning it to low power mode where the tempuratures dropped from scarey 90 deg CPU top a still crazy 65deg CPU. The simple fact that swapping back to the TP Links after weeks of wasted time problem solving a moving goal post and the problem dispeared tells me all I need to know that the Devolo product is not as developed as it should be, latest Firmware from Devolo dated 2023 says something to! Adequate but over priced if all you do is watch TV and surf the net but do not touch if you use them for gaming. BUY TP LINKS I know they work.

Devolo claims "up to 1000Mbps LAN speed". I've tested multiple combinations of power sockets across rooms, real world speeds I got: - 35 Mbps - 58 Mbps - 98 Mbps - 115 Mbps - 237 Mbps - 289 Mbps Even when connecting both devices at neighbour outlets, the "best" it can give is ~500Mbps. This is at best, false advertisement, at worst, malice. If they were upfront saying "real life speeds between 35-250Mpbs", I'd never have bought it. Glad to have used Amazon, returning it.
