Devolo dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac power adapter LAN:
For many years I use components of the company Devolo for my home network. With the changing possibilities of home networking and the Internet increased over the years, of course, the demands on the Devolo adapters. For this reason I switch after several years repeatedly Devolo adapters against newer models from.
Very pleasant I feel that the models of the series dLAN 200, dLAN 500, dLAN 650 and 1200 are compatible with each other. Currently, several different devices to work all these performance classes smoothly together in my network. Especially the models dLAN 650 and dLAN 1200 brought significant performance gains. This mainly due to multiple sockets. Not the ideal of use for dLAN adapters, but sometimes unavoidable. Here proven new technology of these devices that utilize all three wires a cable for data transport.
The advertised gross transfer rates of the devices can be reached at best, in the laboratory, but the performance offered is sufficient for use over from. A misplaced Ethernet cable would certainly always the most powerful solution, but from the structural complexity is no alternative.
The transmission of very large amounts of data (movies, streaming) via the home network works with dLAN 650 and 1200 works fine.
The integration of the new device in the dLAN and WLAN went smoothly and quickly. The dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac now covers the ground floor with Wi-Fi. A date on LAN Bridge unused Fritz! Repeater now reinforced the wireless circuit in the basement that there builds the Fritz! Box. Another Devolo dLAN 500+ WiFi adapter is on the upper floor, a Wi-Fi network.
The advertised Devolo new WiFi Move Technology provides exactly what I suspected even before you buy. There are only formed various wireless circuits that have the same access data (SSID and password). The problem here: If you are using the WiFi Technology Move the data will be synchronized with the adapters, so that the information on the used channels. But that's not ideal. A client logs in to the wireless network to a WLAN access point, and this is also true, to the field strength falls below a minimum level. This behavior is not likely to prevent when used in private households and hardware. Better, however, manually set the radio channels of adjacent wireless circuits, with a distance of at least five channels. This should make it easier to change the access point.
All in all runs of this Devolo adapters quickly and easily in my house.
+++ Supplement in July 2015 - Retrofitting of Devolo dLAN 1200+ Starter Kit (1200 Mbit / s) - when two pieces +++
I was preparing in my house two dLAN adapter to 1200+, and replaced me the freed-dLAN adapters which last 650+ dLAN 200 adapters in my house. The startup was simple, as always.
Here are the latest readings from the Devolo Cockpit. Of course, these values are not static, but change also depending on the connected data devices, as well as of the electrical consumers in the grid:
On Modem Router [Keller] a dLAN 1200+ (1) is connected.
[Office Cellar] router to dLAN 1200+ (2): 385 Mbit / s | dLAN 1200+ (2) to router: 641 Mbit / s
[EC] router to dLAN WiFi 1200: 197 Mbit / s | dLAN 1200 WiFi router to: 316 Mbit / s
-> This dLAN adapter plugged into a 1200 WiF Upstand with many electrical outlets (TV, Sat, AV receivers, BluRay, etc.). Therefore, the damping.
[OG] router to dLAN 650+ (1): 301 Mbit / s | dLAN 650+ (1) to router: 568 Mbit / s
[OG] router to dLAN 650+ (2): 335 Mbit / s | dLAN 650+ (2) to router: 594 Mbit / s
[OG] router to dLAN 500 WiFi: 219 Mbit / s | dLAN 500 WiFi router to: 290 Mbit / s
The connection speed of all Devolo dLAN adapters for 1200+ [Office Cellar] has increased significantly. The new dLAN adapter 1200+ inserted seamlessly into my Devolo network environment. They work together with all speed classes, even with the old dLAN 200th
This may not work as well for all users, then, however, the cause lies in the installation or individual interfering devices (microwave, radiotelephone) founded.
