First of its seamless integration within the secure LAN consists of 2 other boxes dLAN 500 AVplus Starter Kit and a case for housing Free Freebox HD, like what the compatibility between CPL boxes of different origins is possible that what 'may say some Internet service providers (ISPs).
Performance, speeds communication between boxes range from 100 Mbit and 225 Mbit on my local network, which is very satisfying. I have never seen a video stream disrupted even in HD but it can, it is true, depend on the quality of your own grid.
Wifi N meanwhile is really excellent and is even better than the WiFi provided by my Freebox.
The integrated filtered power socket and is very useful and allows connection to a power strip without disturbing data flow.
The control of all the boxes is centralized and easily from the cockpit compatible application PC / Mac / Linux (downloadable from the website Devolo). The configuration of this case is then made accessible via a user-friendly HTML page from your web browser.
There, you can set:
Network security, fixed IP address or DHCP, network filtering, Wi-Fi settings (frequency band, channel, SSID, WPA2 encryption, ...), WLAN controller for stopping WiFi overnight WPS allowing same password on several local WLAN. Once configured, you can save your settings and restore them later if necessary.
Little flat on the easily accessible reset button (via a needle).
Last but not least: the regular updating of the Cockpit application, but also and above firmware of boxes, all these being upgradeable from this same application Cockpit. In computing, nothing is perfect but the permanent improvement (2 for 6 months) this case is more to consider and demonstrate a willingness of the manufacturer to meet and make life easier for those clients.
While a bit more expensive than the competition but certainly a complete product, effective monitoring and well designed.
With their integrated electrical socket, no electrical connection is lost and the integrated mains filter seems to protect the transmission of data.
What is also significant with Devolo is the support and regular updating of their products as well as application-level firmware, giving the whole greater stability and sometimes additional features.
