The dLAN 500 also includes three Ethernet output ports for hard-wiring products, should that be of use. Fortunately products these days are clever enough to automatically select the strongest available network, so when in the living room our phone is happily connected to the original Virgin Media network, then when walking to the bedroom the Devolo network has the stronger signal so is auto-selected. It creates a second network which is derived from the original one. The Devolo Wireless+ boosts an existing Wi-Fi signal, but it doesn't extend your existing network.

A password card in the box would have made a lot more sense, although the inclusion of a physical WPS button will be of use for pairing with some routers. Which, as it happens, lives in the most stupid of places: on the back of the plug, meaning you'll need to unplug it, lose the signal, write it down and plug back in again. Well, you can connect to it once you've entered the Wi-Fi password.

You'll then spot a second Wi-Fi network available - called "devolo" followed by an gibberish series of letters and numbers - that you can connect to. That makes it well worth its asking price.Īnd that's it. What it boils down to is this: we didn't have broadband in all of our home before, and now we do thanks to the Devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ Starter Kit. We didn't suffer any overheating issues, but were aware of the plug-in devices running hot, so heavy users will need to be cautious not to cause overheating and an automated cut-off safety net. In our use the Wi-Fi signal from the powerline was weaker than that of the source router, but still capable of delivering broadband speeds even in generations-old homes. The powerline system is also expandable to cater for homes of all sizes with the addition of extra dLAN 500 units (sold separately). The Devolo Wireless+ does what it says on the tin, successfully providing secure, broadband-speed Wi-Fi that, based on its placement in the home, has a reach way beyond your existing router. To boost that Wi-Fi signal using the existing electrical setup in your home the Devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ Starter Pack is an ideal way to do it with nothing more than a spare plug socket. Despite routers getting better and delivering stronger, further-reaching Wi-Fi signals, that's still not good enough for many households.
