The delivery includes a connector device for connecting to the router as well as a device for receiving the signal from the power grid and rebroadcasting via network cable or WiFi. Both Ethernet cables are included.
An instruction manual is on paper and digital (CD) unfortunately only in English before. Especially when installing WiFi but this is in my opinion still significantly optimized, laymen will certainly be quite confused. A subsequent improvement, at least one German operating instructions should be in their own interest the manufacturer as an exclusively English guide according to the prevailing legislation constitutes a material defect to §434 (2) BGB, and buyers thus can withdraw not only for online purchase from the purchase contract.
After manual the device connected to the router must directly into the wall socket. Too bad if there is only one outlet, at just hangs the router. Fortunately, it works for me without problems in the multiple socket outlet. How high is the performance reduction, I can not find a lack of alternatives, but 2 floors below (New) I get on smartphone and tablet with 3 bar the strongest signal display.
A compound of 2 connector devices by pairing button did not work, by means of web access shut the device but then relatively quickly. The transmitter receives so its signal from the electrical outlet, and then outputs it via cable or wireless transmitter on. Here the manufacturer has set no encryption unfortunately in the factory settings, which of course is fatal, here you should immediately switch to encrypted mode and set a suitable password.
After all this fumbling the functionality is then but perfectly with WLAN.
A bit disturbing I find the excess heat from both units. Also you can adjust any function times, outside of which switch off the device and no electricity use (for example at night).
Conclusion:
The starter kit will be offered a very favorable, with the can be a home network easily expand. High is certainly room for improvement exists.
In total solid 3 stars. Those looking for an affordable solution, can be accessed safely here.
