WiFi from the Socket – Powerline Simply Explained

What distinguishes Powerline from a Repeater?

WiFi Repeater are excellent for extending the WiFi signal on a single floor when there are few obstacles like walls that interfere with signal transmission. However, as a solution for WiFi connectivity issues across multiple floors, repeaters are hardly suitable; the room architecture must be very open for this to work.

The ideal solution for improved WiFi reception is the Powerline Adapter, which transmits the internet signal over long distances – unhindered by walls and other interference factors. This way, you can enjoy the best internet and WiFi in every room directly from the power outlet.

Do I need a LAN or WiFi connection?

Powerline adapters from devolo allow you to use LAN and WiFi flexibly in any room. The type of connection you should prefer depends on your devices and types of applications.

WiFi enables devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to be used flexibly throughout the house. It is also often the first choice for surfing outdoors – for example, on the balcony, garden terrace, or in the hobby garage.

Whenever high transfer rates of large data volumes are crucial, a LAN connection is preferred. This can be the case for gaming on a console or streaming 4K content on a smart TV.
