Devolo 9385 dLAN 1200 Plus Wi-Fi ac Add-On Powerline Adapter, (Powerline Speeds up to 1200 Mbps, Easy Installation, Pass-through Socket, Wifi Move Technology, Whole Home Wifi), White

The dLAN 1200 Powerline network products are all good. Work well with dLAN 200 versions, and very fast. High quality construction, plug and play. These are the best components to build a home network easily around house wiring without fuss. The dLAN 1200+ Wifi is also extremely fast offering WiFi everywhere in the house. Choose these, and use Netgear 8 way unmanaged Gigabit switches off them if you need multiple network connections. They work well with Devolo and very reliable. Believe me - Devolo offer a high quality solution.

These items are good but BIG. They are very easy to use and setup and are pretty much ready out of the box although you'll quite likely want to use a downloadable app to configure them to your preferred WiFi name and password. They work well and speeds are good. Main gripe is the size of them. Main plug is not as big as those giving off wifi and with extra network ports but the two that do are not far off small house bricks and I came across many plugs that would have been perfect to locate them but wouldn't take them due to the available space above them. You need a good 6 inches clear above the top of any electrical socket, otherwise they won't fit. Great devices, just need space.

After trying to extend my wifi with a number of wireless solutions which never proved satisfactory, this devolo 1200+ wifi AC has worked beautifully! I already used a number of devolo mains network products from the old 200AV to the newer 500 and 650 mains units. Obviously you will need another devolo or mains network product to connect to this one from your router, but then the seamless cloning of your wifi details ( I use a DLink 868L router ) was so simple! All my devices transition seamlessly from the main wifi to the identical signal broadcast from this one. I also have an apple airport express connected to this unit via one of the Gigabit ports connected to a hifi in the same room. All works beautifully. The wifi from this unit covers the kitchen area and extends through the glass double glazed patio doors all the way to the end of our 90ft garden. So pleased to finally get a robust wifi extension solution. Recommended wholeheartedly if you can't run a cable to where you need wifi. I would never try extending wifi using a wireless-only product in future.

I bought this to extend the dLAN powerline set-up I already have. The whole system works extremely well, both as an ethernet connection for e.g. YouView box for the TV, but also as a WiFi extender. I found Apple's Airport Extreme won't play nicely with other systems, so when I switched to BT's Infinity service and started using their hub, the Airport set-up basically went into a sulk. This has replaced it seamlessly, and the extender gives another hard wired ethernet option in an additional room for internet. I will admit to messing up my network when I first added this into the system. (Something to do with pressing the wrong buttons on the wrong piece of kit at the wrong time...) However, I ended up re-setting the whole network (a very quick job), added in the extender by pushing the right button at the right time, and everything was fine again. Basically, if you set up the original network some time back, then it's worth reading the instructions again just to make sure you remember what to do! It does run a bit warm, but I haven't found this to be a problem.

I have 5 devolo adapters. All work really well. My router is located in the ground floor of my house and I can get a signal through my devolo set up in my attic. This is significant not only because of the distance involved but because the adapters are all on different circuits. I have tried other makes but they just didn't work when connected to different ring circuits. I have a friend who has found this to be the case in his house too. I use them for internet connection for another computer elsewhere in the house (using an ethernet cable from the adapter to the computer) and for wifi connection throughout the house. I also use them to connect smart TVs and a blue ray player to the internet.

I purchased this to add to the starter kit I had just set up. I must admit to a lot of disappointment with this. I spend several hours trying to get this to integrate seamlessly into my existing network as I had been led to believe should have been possible, but the so-called WiFi Move technology just didn't work for me. For instance, my existing Devolo 1200+ WiFi adapter is set up in my dining room, but my laptop was able to pick up the weaker signal from the unit at the top of the stairs. I had expected that when I moved my laptop into the dining room from upstairs, it would have immediately switched to the stronger signal (less than a metre away), but it didn't. So the only effect of adding the new unit at the top of the stairs was to seriously degrade the signal in the dining room (the only workaround seemed to be to manually disconnect from the network and then reconnect, which would then cause the laptop to connect to the closest adapter). I tried a high-spec dual-band laptop as well and that behaved in exactly the same way. Not exactly automatic roaming. For this reason, I am sending the unit back and will just use the existing unit to supplement the signal at the back of my house and continue to use the router for the front of the house. Update: After using this for a while, I've come to like it a lot more, so much so that I've purchased two more to cover other weak spots in my home and to make up for the weakness in my Epson printer's Wi-Fi (it seems to need a stronger signal that most other devices). My son now has excellent dual-band Wi-Fi for his TV now as well, so everyone is happy. I've only dropped a star because the setup can be a bit fiddly, especially if using the buttons on the front of the units.

Bought a devolo 1200+ wifi ac starter kit about a year ago - but the setup instructions were dire. Worked eventually and was very pleased. Moved to a new house (long thin barn conversion with thick stone walls) and needed an extra adaptor. The stuff in the "manual" described installing in several different ways - pushing the encryption button on the adaptors and the WPS button on the router. That just succeeded in disconnecting the existing setup. Various online suggestions all pointed to using the "Cockpit" app, but I couldn't get the Windows or Mac versions of it to recognise any of the adaptors. Devolo helpline (eventually, but it was in the middle of lockdown) just went round the same loop. Finally tried the Android version of Cockpit on my phone - and that worked. Added the first and second adaptors by entering the security code from the adaptor into the app. Easy. Only took 2 days.... Now get an indicated ~200 Mb/sec across the adaptors, and it's been stable for a while since. Overall, not a bad bit of kit, and I still haven't found a better alternative to do the job I needed it to do. But..... they can be frustrating to set up, even for an IT professional.

I did a lot of research and many of the guides suggested this is the best powerline on the market. We had develo 500mbs before and these are noticeably quicker with fewer wifi drops too. The build quality is very nice and it they are simply plug n play. We bought the starter pack too because we wanted to have a strong connection in three rooms. I really like the fact it creates a wifi hotspot instead of just extending a weak signal. They are at the top end of the market but if want good internet and don't want your wifi dropping all the time they are worth the money. Nothing worse than spending loads of money on a nice tv, mobile phone or computer only to have a rubbish internet connection at home.

Einfach Installation, gute Funktion. Es wird ein neues WLAN erzeugt, mit einer anderen Bezeichnung als das WLAN vom Router. Damit es funktioniert, benötigt man zusätzlich einen dLAN Adapter, der mit dem Router verbunden ist.
