devolo dLAN 1200 triple+ Powerline Starter Kit

The life we live relies on having a good network. While most of our devices run on WiFi, sometimes you just need a wired connection. This may be because you are a gamer and need to get the maximum speed out of your connection. This might be because you want to connect to something like a television or a smart home device that only runs on a wired connection. The problem with this is the fact that it is very costly to run a wired cable from your router to other parts of your house or office. Devolo have the solution for you. Their Devolo dLAN 1200 triple+ starter kit allows you to have up to 3 extra wired connections, available anywhere within your house.

Look and feel

The device looks like most other extender kits. It plugs into your mains, and allows you to plug something in, hence ensuring you don’t waste a socket. On the device are ethernet ports to connect, an LED to indicate status and a button on the side to allow pairing.

Setup

By default, the first and main unit should be plugged near the router and connected to the router using the supplied ethernet cable.

The second device can then be plugged anywhere in the house, as per your needs.

Normally that should be it, and the devices should connect.

However, if that doesn’t work, simply press the connect button on the side of both devices to let this work.

That is it, from there on, you should be good to go!

Speed test

The device is capable of up to 1200mbps. That is faster than most internet connections in the UK, so it works as well as you want and need it to.

Plug and forget

The beauty of the device is that once you have plugged it in and set it up, you can simply forget about it, and carry on.

No WiFi

The one thing to remember with this device is that there is no WiFi connection available through this.
