Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses thehousehold mains supply for data transmission andsecures ideal performance and stability in locationswhere network cables are not viable or desiredand/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-lings and walls.

To set up a devolo Magic network, you need atleast two devolo Magic devices. For technicalreasons, devices from the devolo Magic seriesare not compatible with dLAN devices.

Under Change access password, a login passwordcan be set for accessing the web interface.

By default, the built-in web interface of thedevolo Magic 2 WiFi next is not protected by apassword. We recommend assigning a passwordwhen the installation of thedevolo Magic 2 WiFi next is complete to protect itagainst tampering by third parties.

To do so, enter the desired new password twice.Now the web interface is protected against un-authorised access with your custom password!

In Power Management, you can enable Power-save mode and Standby mode on thedevolo Magic 2 WiFi next.

If Powersave mode has been enabled, thedevolo Magic 2 WiFi next switches to PowerSavemode automatically whenever reduced data trans-mission over ethernet is detected.

The latency (time for transmitting a datapacket) may be negatively affected.
