Be ready for the technology of the future today

devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association. devolo Magic products are certified according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.

Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established 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 ceilings and walls.

DEVOLO Magic 1 WiFi - Be ready for the technology of the future today - 1

DEVOLO Magic 1 WiFi - 4.4.2WiFi networks - 1

WiFi network mode

The devolo Magic 1 WiFi supports both the parallel operation of the WiFi frequency bands and their separate use.

The WiFi network mode field lets you define your preferred setting by clicking the respective field:

2.4 GHz + 5 GHz - Both frequency bands are used
2.4 GHz - Only the 2.4 GHz frequency band is used
- 5 GHz - Only the 5 GHz frequency band is used
- Off - If desired, you can completely switch off the WiFi section of your devolo Magic 1 WiFi here.

Keep in mind that after saving this setting, you will be disconnected from any existing wireless connection to the devolo Magic 1 WiFi. In this case, configure the device over Ethernet.

Network name

The network name (SSID) determines the name of your wireless network. You can see this name when logging onto the WiFi, allowing you to identify the correct WiFi network.

Channels

There are 13 channels available in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The channels recommended for Europe are channels 1, 6 and 11. This ensures the frequency bands of the channels do not overlap and any connection problems are avoided.

There are 19 channels available in the 5 GHz frequency band.

The channel selection default setting is Automatic. The devolo Magic 1 WiFi regularly and automatically executes the channel selection in this setting. In other words, if the last connected station logs out, a search for a suitable channel is carried out immediately. If no stations are connected, the device automatically selects a channel every 15 minutes.

It is worth noting that connected devices also have to support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz. From channel 52 onward you go into the radar range. When accessing the device for the first time, a radar detection phase (DFS) starts automatically, during which time the devolo Magic 1 WiFi cannot be accessed via WiFi. This can take up to 10 minutes.

In the Channel field, you can manually select a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz channel. If you are not sure which wireless channels are used by nearby devices, select the Automatic option.

Hide SSID:

The SSID specifies the name of your wireless network. You can see this name when logging onto the WiFi, allowing you to identify the correct subnet.

If the Hide SSID option is disabled, your network name is visible. If this option is disabled, potential network users must know the exact SSID and enter it manually to be able to set up a connection.

Some WiFi stations have difficulty connecting to hidden wireless networks. If the connection to a hidden SSID poses problems, first try to set up the connection with a visible SSID and only then try to hide it.

Security

The WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal (WiFi Protected Access) security standard is available for securing data transmission in your wireless network. This method allows for individualised keys consisting of letters and numbers and the depicted special characters with a length of up to 63 characters. You can simply enter them into the Key field via the keyboard.

4.4.3 Guest network

If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and you want to provide them with Internet access but without giving away the password for your WiFi, you can set up a separate guest account in addition to the main Internet connection. The guest account can have its own network name, time limit and WiFi password. This way your visitors can browse the Internet without having access to your local network.

To form one Powerline network, all devices need to receive a common encryption password.

This happens automatically if you initiate pairing by pressing the Powerline button on two or more devices in succession. The automatically generated password of the first device will be assigned to all other devices.

reased at pressing the physical button on the device itself, you can also activate the following button.

Start pairing

When you activate the following button, the current pass-through will be deleted.

Leave Powerline network

Instead of the auto-generated password, you can also assign your own password for encryption. The same password must be entered for all documents which belong to a set of unique identifiers.

Powerline password

Powerline domain name

In some cases, VSDL connection problems cannot be caused by crosswall with the powerline signal. If automatic compatibility made it enabled, the system would be able to detect this situation and adjust its output signal accordingly, which should provide the best balance between performance and mitigation of crosswall.

Automatic compatibility mode (recommended)

If automatic mode is disabled, or cannot reliably direct crossstalk, a static mitigation profile will be used instead. Select the profile which matches the type of your V52I connections, or select "Vul Power" for no mitigation at all.
