On December 1, the German company Devolo introduced the Magic 2 WiFi 6. This world’s first powerline adapter with Wi-Fi 6 achieves the internet speeds you want when you work from home.

With this latest flagship product, German network expert Devolo combines advanced Powerline technology with the most powerful Wi-Fi standard to date. Powerline speeds go up to 2,400 Mbps and Wi-Fi speeds up to 1,800 Mbps. The internet signal goes through walls and ceilings and therefore has a large range. In short, ideal for working from home.

Specifications
The Magic 2 WiFi 6 comes with Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) that makes more efficient use of available frequencies. Because the wireless channels are divided into smaller frequency bands, it is easier and faster to communicate with more applications on one channel.
In addition, attention was paid to improving the 5 GHz band and to new developments for the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This makes it possible to use the WiFi faster with more devices.
Furthermore, the Powerline adapter comes with Target Wake Time (TWT). This means that devices that do not need a constant connection at that time are put into sleep mode. This provides a more efficient energy and battery saving.

How it works
Plug in the adapters so that they connect together. This happens automatically and within two minutes. You can then connect an adapter to the router using an Ethernet cable. The Devolo Magic is then ready for use.

Price and availability
The Starter Kit, consisting of two adapters, is available immediately for a suggested retail price of € 239.90. The Multiroom kit, which comes with three adapters and is recommended for larger rooms, is available now for a suggested retail price of €399.90. A single adapter has a suggested retail price of €179.90. Devolo offers a three-year manufacturer’s warranty for all products.
