Introduction 12
devolo Magic 2 LAN
1-1
according to HomeGrid standards and are compa-
tible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-
hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-
lings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need
at least two devolo Magic devices. For tech-
nical reasons, devices from the
devolo Magic series are not compatible with
dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the
devolo Magic adapter:
Unpack – plug in – get started and be ready for

tion

tionary network device – such as a game con-
sole, television or media receiver – to your
Internet access point over the Powerline net-
work (e.g. Internet router).
