acts - simply - beautiful

Founded in 2002, devolo AG is a German manufacturer of network technology, based in Aachen. In the early years of the business analogue modems and ISDN adapters and ADSL routers were developed and marketed. Today the company offers a wide range of products for home networking. The Devolo WiFi Repeater helps optimize coverage of the domestic WiFi.

The repeater is seated in a socket between the router and wireless device, such as smartphone or tablet. It catches signals from and for the router and sends it further strengthened. The repeater generates even a wireless network, with the device in Repeater nearby have better reception. Near the router to connect through the router brings more speed. With increasing distance and becomes weak, a repeater makes sense. Most brings the repeater when he stands up well halfway between the router and wireless device.

We use the Devolo WiFi repeaters for improving range and performance in the two-story house with relatively strong shielding walls. Positioned in a central reception area to our existing router, expanded and strengthened this almost inconspicuous Repeater the network significantly. Of course, the repeaters are only a signal strength further, he also receives. Even for me as a layman, the installation was straightforward, simple and fast. Just plug it in, press the WPS button, ready.

Especially the compact design with no outstanding antennas makes the Devolo WiFi repeater a meaningful alternative to the very ugly Netgear WN3100RP-100PES N-300 WLAN Repeater and despite the higher product dimensions and the AVM FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 310 (300 Mbit / s, WPS) ,

The only deduction is the failure to indicate the energy consumption. Also the datasheet gives no useful information for expectable power consumption. (See here: [...]) computer screen was recently charged in a test times for other repeaters. Cost point 4 to 9 euros per year. Also not cheap and therefore good to know. Well, still a great device.
