Commercial message: The stability and functioning of the home WiFi network gained importance during 2020. The majority of users completely underestimated this site and the combination of home education and working home office led to big problems. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the WiFi. How? Well, with the excellent products of the German company devolo, which specializes in powerline adapters and overall network speed. Which adapter to choose from the offer? And how will it help your WiFi network?
How to boost WiFi signal?
An ordinary household is usually equipped with one WiFi router, which spreads the wireless Internet connection to the rest of the house. While near it you can enjoy the maximum speed of your connection, in more distant corners - on the terrace or on the floor where there are bedrooms or children's rooms, the connection speed decreases rapidly. The solution is other network elements - boxes that will take care of strengthening and expanding the signal.
However, in order to maintain the original speed, it is necessary to connect these devices to each other with a cable, because in the case of a wireless connection, there is usually a sharp drop in speed or even signal outages. In new construction, this is usually taken into account, but in other cases you will have to drill, run cables and trim.
However, we have a much better and hassle-free solution at a reasonable price. Powerline adapters devolo with multifunctional use. The joke is that instead of new wiring, electrical wiring is used, which literally runs through the entire house or a larger apartment.
The ideal solution is the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next Starter Kit
devolo's flagship product is Magic 2 WiFi next Starter Kit, which consists of two adapters. You place one of them in the electrical outlet in the room where the WiFi router is located. You then connect both devices with a classic LAN cable, thanks to which the devolo adapter becomes part of your home network.
You place the second devolo adapter in an electrical outlet in a place where the WiFi signal is already weak and you need to strengthen it. A huge advantage is the fact that the adapter, in addition to a pair of LAN connectors (for example, for smart TV, game console, NAS server or the printer) also includes WiFi antennas that will spread the signal to other rooms both in the old 2,4GHz band and also on the modern 5GHz frequency with a total transmission speed of up to 2 Mbps. This is enough capacity to connect dozens of devices.
A huge advantage of the devolo product family is the ability to easily integrate another adapter into the network. For example, a separate devolo adapter Magic 1 Wi-Fi mini. Adding such a device to an existing devolo network takes only a few seconds, as it is quickly paired after plugging it into a power outlet, and from that moment the adapters communicate with each other. So you need practically no special skills for installation
Security of transmitted data
It might seem that even a neighbor can easily connect to your network via 230V sockets, but this is not true. The entire data transfer is encrypted (e.g. 128bit AES) and the data transfer is reliably stopped by the electricity meter in the distribution box. A different situation occurs when you have multiple phases within a house or apartment. Although the data signal spreads between them, the resulting connection speed cannot be guaranteed in any way.

Powerline devices always work at least in pairs, so it is necessary to purchase a starter KIT at the beginning. Of course, this entails some financial costs, which in the case of the devolo brand start slightly above 2. In any case, you will pay an order of magnitude higher for drilling the house and laying new cables.
