The German-engineered devolo Magic 2 line uses pure powerline communications (PLC) and mesh Wi-Fi to turn power outlets into internet access points and reliably distribute internet throughout the home.
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–devolo, the Germany-based smart home-networking pioneer, today announced three models from the successful Magic 2 series – Magic 2 WiFi next, Magic 2 LAN, and the Magic 2 LAN triple – are now available for purchase in the U.S. The practical outlet adapters boost internet connectivity by using pre-existing power lines to distribute internet signals throughout the home, thereby turning power outlets into internet access points with an Ethernet cable or wireless mesh Wi-Fi.
“It’s more important than ever to have a robust home network, as the past year has clearly demonstrated. Working from home and attending virtual school as well as enjoying today’s home entertainment aren’t possible without fast connections,” says Heiko Harbers, devolo founder and CEO. “Our Magic products have delighted millions of customers, and we’re pleased to now offer them in North America. We consider this market launch to be an important milestone in devolo’s history.”
The flagship product, the Magic 2 WiFi next, integrates the best of two worlds: state-of-the-art G.hn Wave 2 standard powerline speeds up to 2,000 Mbps* and high-performance mesh Wi-Fi with speeds up to 1,200 Mbps*. For maximum connectivity, Magic 2 WiFi next is also equipped with two useful Gigabit LAN ports that make it a networking powerhouse for the home. The Magic 2 WiFi next series also supports numerous smart features for setting up a stable mesh Wi-Fi network:
In addition to the Magic 2 WiFi next, devolo is launching two different Magic 2 LAN models, the Magic 2 LAN and the Magic 2 LAN triple, which offer alternatives depending on a consumer’s connectivity needs. Both Magic 2 LAN models use the current G.hn Powerline standard and each offers an integrated electrical outlet with a power filter function to protect against interference signals. The products have a simple Powerline pairing process and a strong 128-bit AES encryption that is used across the board among the Magic line. The devolo Magic 2 LAN triple offers three fast Gigabit LAN ports for computers, gaming consoles, set-top boxes or other hardware to be supplied with the internet. Meanwhile, the devolo Magic 2 LAN adapter has one Gigabit port. devolo provides all devices with a limited two-year warranty.
Creating a home network with plenty of range no longer requires drilling or the hassle of routing cables, it’s as easy as installing the Home Network app (iOS, Android) included with the Magic product line. In addition to the user-friendly app, consumers also have access to the free devolo Cockpit software (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and a web interface, all of which provide access to the system status and settings.
The various starter kits are the recommended choice for most homes, while the flagship devolo Magic 2 WiFi next Whole Home Kit is an ideal solution for larger, multi-level family homes. For optimal connectivity, the devolo network can be expanded with add-on Magic adapters. Additionally, the entire Magic product family is fully intercompatible, allowing for a customizable and versatile Magic home network.
