Easily expand your existing devolo powerline network
No matter what your plans may look like: With devolo powerline adapters, you are on the safe side. If you already use devolo powerline adapters, you can easily expand your existing system. The devolo expansion adapters are available for both the Magic and dLAN series - of course with either LAN or WiFi function. The only thing to keep in mind is that you cannot combine Magic and dLAN adapters with each other.
The devolo single adapters of the Magic or dLAN series are perfect for areas in your home where you do not yet have optimal Internet reception. These could be newly used rooms or floors, for example. Or you might have just moved into a new home and therefore have more square metres at your disposal.

Questions and answers about the expansion of a devolo Magic network
Is it possible to use the WiFi function and the integrated LAN port at the same time?
Yes, of course you can use the WiFi signal and the LAN connection simultaneously.
Where do I plug in the Powerline adapter?
Ideally in a single socket. If the adapter is placed in a multiple wall socket, it should be used there alone if possible. You can easily connect other devices or a power strip via the adapter's socket.
Do Magic adapters install themselves automatically?
No. You have to connect the new device to one of the already existing devices within your home network by pressing a button: Select an adapter from the existing network and then press the encryption button on the new adapter.
Do devolo Magic adapters work with all routers and network devices?
devolo Magic adapters are compatible with all routers, network devices, devolo Magic adapters and products certified by the HomeGrid Forum. However, dLAN Powerline adapters and other HomePlug AV products including the devolo Outdoor WiFi Powerline adapter are not compatible with the devolo Magic series.
Is it possible to combine Magic adapters of different speed classes (Magic 1 and 2)?
Yes. In an individual home network, each adapter connects to every other adapter at the highest possible speed (regardless of the other adapters on the network).

At the same time, however, the 2400 Mbps adapters connect to each other at the full 2400 Mbps speed.
How many adapters can be connected to each other within an individual home network?
You can easily connect up to eight adapters within an individual home network.

Questions and answers about the expansion of a devolo dLAN network

The only exceptions are old devices with 14 and 85 Mbps speed. Unfortunately, these are not compatible with more modern products.
For technical reasons, devolo Magic series devices are not compatible with dLAN devices.

For example, in a network consisting of one 500 Mbps adapter and two 1200 Mbps adapters, the 500 Mbps adapter connects at 500 Mbps to the 1200 Mbps adapters. At the same time, however, the 1200 MBit/s adapters connect to each other at the full 1200 Mbps speed.
