Powerline AV the next

I'm a big fan of Powerline. Network via the power socket does well in our house. I then also with the Devolo adapters started, at that time the AV200 default. Meanwhile, the whole AV1200, the bad news is called first. He is 6x as fast as the old adapter.

Like any Powerline product are greater distances a problem. Will be passed only LAN over 3 meters power cables everything still looks very good, hardly noticeable loss of data. Large distances to become quickly apparent. Devolo even grabbed a very good software to with which you can closely monitor the bandwidth, so you can also test times if another outlet might bring even more speed. Meanwhile, the Fritz! Box indicates the bandwidth of powerline adapters.

Specified by me software is only used for verification of network traffic, unpack immediately after the operation is possible. The software is not mandatory, although it is advisable to install them on a computer or laptop, especially if you want to upgrade the firmware. The set includes 2 adapters, once a normal LAN adapter, another with its own WiFi ac. This allows a quasi HotSpot set, useful in my office 2nd floor is hardly what the wireless signal on, here I use the WiFi Ac.

What I now write is hard to believe the wireless signal is stronger as my Fritz! Box 7390, I got out of the house more signal to the adapter instead of the Fritz! Box.

Even some useful information for people who have never worked with Powerline adapters, you can to an adapter also a switch terminals so that several terminals can be connected, for example, multimedia wall. It is also possible for the adapter to encrypt additional prerequisite is the software Devolo cockpit. The adapter realizing it when no traffic is present, are then almost completely off hardly needs electricity, at least hardly measurable. Real Plug'n'Play not install drivers etc.

Clear recommendation, a powerline network can save a lot of money, embarrassed afterwards cable is often not easy, at least if you do not want to have visible the network cable. The set will be still LAN cable.
