2 Introduction

2.1 devolo Magic

Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all, devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a multimedia home of the future with noticeably higher speed, more stability and greater range, providing the perfect Internet experience as a result!

Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy to install, with impressive, innovative technology and unbeatable performance.

Fig. 1 devolo Magic throughout the home

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.

To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at least two devolo Magic devices. For technical reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series are not compatible with dLAN devices.

2.2 Introduction to the devolo Magic adapter

2.3 Pairing - Establishing a PLC connection

devolo Magic adapters that are in the factory default condition, i.e. have been recently purchased or successfully reset (see Chapter 3.6 Removing the devolo Magic adapter from a PLC network), automatically start to attempt to pair (establish a PLC connection) with anotherdevolo Magic adapter when reconnected to the mains supply.

Starting up a new devolo Magic PLC network

After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into available power sockets, a new devolo Magic network is established automatically within 3 minutes.

Expanding an existing devolo Magic PLC network by adding another devolo Magic adapter

In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 WiFi in your devolo Magic- network, first you have to connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters devices as a network. This is accomplished by using a shared PLC password, which can be assigned in various ways:

Using devolo Cockpit or the devolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.5 Installation of devolo software)
Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.5 Powerline)
Using the PLC button as described below.
To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapter into an available power socket and, for approximately 1 second, press the PLC button on a devolo Magic adapter in your existing devolo Magic network.

The new devolo Magic adapter pairs automatically so no button needs to be pressed. The LED of this adapter now also flashes white.

After a short time, the flashing LED becomes a steady white light. The devolo Magic adapter has been successfully integrated into your existing devolo Magic network.

For each pairing operation, only one additional devolo Magic adapter can be added at a time.

You can find detailed information about installing devolo Magic adapters in Chapter

One of the following key is required: a pre/post frame with a length of 8 to 52 characters or a pre/post key with a length of 56 characters.

Wi-Fi network mode

The devolo Magic adapter supports both the parallel operation of the Wi-Fi frequency bands and their separate use.

The Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi section of your devolo Magic adapter here.

Keep in mind that after saving this setting, you will be disconnected from any existing wireless connection to the devolo Magic adapter. 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 Wi-Fi, allowing you to identify the correct Wi-Fi 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 adapter 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 adapter cannot be accessed via Wi-Fi. 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 Wi-Fi, 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 Wi-Fi 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 (Wi-Fi 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.

When the WPA3 encryption standard is enabled, the WPS function is not available for technical reasons.

You can find more information in Chapter 4.4.7 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

4.4.3Guest 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 Wi-Fi, 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 Wi-Fi password. This way your visitors can browse the Internet without having access to your local network.

The QR-Code gives you easy access to the guest network using mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. While scanning the QR-code the credentials for the guest network will be transferred to your mobile device.

To set up a guest account, activate the Enable option.

The guest account has an Automatic shutoff feature. This feature automatically disables the guest network once the selected time period ends.

You can use the Enable option to activate the shut-off feature.

You can also enable or disable the guest account in the devolo Home Network App using the Guest account button.

Frequency band

In the Frequency band field, you select the frequency band mode you are using (see Chapter Wi-Fi network mode).

Network name

Define the name of the guest network in the Network name field.

Key

You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent anyone in signal range from intruding into your network and, for example, sharing your Internet connection. The WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security standard is available for this.

This method allows for individualised keys consisting of letters and numbers with a length of up to 63 characters. You can simply enter them via the keyboard.

To do so, enter a corresponding number of characters into the Key field.

When the WPA3 encryption standard is enabled, the WPS function is not available for technical reasons.

You can find more information in Chapter 4.4.7 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

QR code

Using the QR code, you can conveniently set up the connection to the guest network for mobile devices. Scanning the QR code automatically transfers the credentials for the guest network to the respective mobile device. The QR code is visible only if the guest network has been enabled.

4.4.4Mesh

Mesh

All devolo Magic Wi-Fi adapters offer Mesh Wi-Fi, which entails completely new and improved Wi-Fi functions:

Multi-user MIMO technology

More often than not, you use multiple end devices in your Wi-Fi network, such as a smartphone, tablet, smart TV or a game console. This

devolo Magic 2 WiFi next

can present a real challenge for your Wi-Fi network—it has to regulate the distribution of data streams from the Wi-Fi access point (e.g. router, devolo device) to the end devices. Multi-user MIMO technology makes it possible for your devolo device to supply your smartphone, tablet and other devices with data streams simultaneously—at the speed you require and at an efficient transfer rate.

Thanks to Multi-user MIMO technology, you can finally enjoy using the Internet without long wait times during online gaming, sporadic drop-outs while streaming in HD or slow downloads.

• Fast roaming (IEEE 802.11r) streamlines the registration process for Wi-Fi end devices, such as smartphones or tablets, when switching to another Wi-Fi hotspot.

The feature Fast roaming is not compatible with all Wi-Fi clients. If there will be connection problems with one of your devices, please deactivate these option.

In factory default condition of the devolo Magic adapter Fast roaming is turned off by default.

The access-point steering feature (AP steering) function enhances your Wi-Fi access

point by adding intelligent network optimisation. This function actively helps your end devices connect to the optimal network access point. If the Wi-Fi access point identifies another Wi-Fi access point within your own network that has a stronger signal and better reception, it redirects the end device to that point automatically.

In particular, older smartphones, tablets and the like will remain connected to their Wi-Fi access point (e.g. router, devolo device) until the signal gets interrupted. Only then will they switch to a new Wi-Fi access point with better reception.

• Integrated band steering ensures that all Wi-Fi stations automatically switch to the optimum frequency band (2.4 and 5 GHz frequency band) in order to use the best Wi-Fi connection at all times.
• With the new Airtime Fairness function, fast Wi-Fi devices are treated preferentially. Older devices for example, that take a long time to download something, no longer slow down the Wi-Fi network.

In order to turn the mesh functions on, activate the Enable option. The mesh function of the devolo Magic adapter is switched on by default.

中

Mesh Wi-Fi

Enabling the Mesh functionality features will optimize your privacy Wi-Fi network experience while using your mobile devices. In virtue of our existing security client problem, AP Steering, Band Steering and Dynamic Frequency Selection provides Wi-Fi access even without a device.

Enable

feature

(IEEE 802.11) (also called "First Rowstring") accelerates the login of a WiFi device to this WFI access point. Requirement: The device was already connected to another WiFi access point with IEEE 11r enabled, identical network name (SSID), and identical encryption. Unfortunately, IEEE 11r is not compatible with every WiFi device and may cause Interoperability issues with WPA3 encryption. If you experience problems with any of your devices, please disable this option.

□

WiFi Clone

WiFi Cloner allows you to apply the Wi-Fi access data (network name and Wi-Fi password) of another Wi-Fi access point to this device automatically. This requires that you start the configuration process and then press the WPS button on the device containing the Wi-Fi access data (SSID and Wi-Fi password) to be applied.

WiFi Clone

WiFi Clone makes it possible to simply copy the Wi-Fi configuration data of an existing Wi-Fi access point (e.g. your Wi-Fi router) to all Wi-Fi access points (Single SSID). Start the procedure with the Start Configuration option and then press the WPS button of the device with the Wi-Fi access data (SSID and Wi-Fi password) to be applied.

4.4.5Schedule control

The Schedule control area lets you define when and if your Wi-Fi is switched on and off.

Enabling Wi-Fi schedule control

In order to be able to use time control, activate the Enable option.

Configuration

You can define multiple time periods during which your wireless network is to be enabled for each weekday. Then the time control automatically switches the wireless network on or off.

Automatic disconnection

If you enable the Automatic disconnection option, the wireless network is not switched off until the last station has logged off.

Manually switching the device on and off (using a button) always has priority over automatic time control. The configured time control then takes effect automatically during the next defined time period.

4.4.6Parental control

You can regulate Wi-Fi access for specific devices based on time using this function. For instance, to prevent your children from using the Internet excessively, you can define how long they may use the Wi-Fi per day. Synchronisation with an (Internet) time server is necessary to be able to use the parental control. In this case, the time server (System Management Time Server (NTP)) for the devolo Magic adapter has to be enabled and an active Internet connection is also required.

The time server pool.ntp.org is enabled by default. You can find more information in Chapter 4.7.2 Management.

If you would like to set up a time quota (usage time in hours) or a time period (active from/to), ac

tivate the Enable option. Now enter the MAC addresses of the devices you want to set up parental control for.

Under Type, define either a time quota (time limit) or a time period for when you want the MAC addresses entered to receive Internet access. Under Select interval, select the desired time frame.

4.4.7Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is one of the international encryption standards developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance for easily and quickly setting up a secure wireless network. The encryption keys of the respective Wi-Fi devices are transmitted automatically and continuously to the other Wi-Fi device(s) in the wireless network.

Enabling WPS encryption

In order to be able to use WPS encryption, activate the Enable option.

The devolo Magic adapters offers two different variants for transmitting these encryption keys:

WPS using WPS pushbutton

Start the encryption process on the devolo Magic adapter

By pressing the Wi-Fi button on the front side of the device or
By pressing the corresponding Start button on the user interface under Wi-Fi WPS Pushbutton.

Then either press the WPS key of the Wi-Fi device you are adding or enable the WPS

mechanism in the Wi-Fi settings of the Wi-Fi device. Now the devices exchange their encryption keys and establish a secure Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi LED on the front panel indicates the synchronisation process by flashing.

WPS via PIN

To interconnect Wi-Fi devices in your wireless network securely using a PIN variant, go to the web interface and, under Wi-Fi WPS WPS PIN, enter the WPS PIN generated by your Android smartphone or tablet and start the encryption process by pressing the corresponding Start button.

Use of the WPS method implies the use of the WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 or WPA2/WPA3 encryption standard.

When the WPA3 encryption standard is enabled, the WPS function is not available for technical reasons.

You can find more information in Chapter 4.4.2 Wi-Fi networks.

Therefore take note of the following automatic settings:

If under Wi-Fi Wi-Fi networks, the No encryption option is selected in advance,

WPA2 is set automatically. The newly generated password is displayed under Wi-Fi Wi-Fi networks in the Key field.

• If under Wi-Fi Wi-Fi networks, the WPA/WPA2 option is selected in advance, this setting remains with the previously assigned password.

4.4.8Neighbour networks

The Neighbour networks area displays visible wireless networks in your surroundings.

4.5 Powerline

Make all changes to your PLC network in the Powerline area.

Powerline

Powerline Network

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

This happens automatically if you initiate pressing 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.

Instead of pressing the physical button on the device itself, you can also activate the following button.

When you actuarie the following button, the current password will be deleted:

Instead of the auto-generated password, you can also assign your own password for encryption. The same password must be entered for all devices which should be part of the same Powerline network. Note that if you change the password, the Powerline connection to this device will be interrupted.

Ferencline password:

Fanning domain name:

In order to use a new devolo Magic adapter in your devolo Magic network, first you have to connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters devices as a network. This is accomplished by using a shared password. This can be assigned in different ways:

Using devolo Cockpit or the devolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.5 Installation of devolo software),
- Only using the PLC button (see Chapter 2.3 Pairing - Establishing a PLC connection and 3.4 Connecting the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next)
Using the web interface, in the PLC menu; as described below:

Pairing - Using on-screen button

• Click Start pairing to start the pairing operation. This may take some time.
  As soon as the new devolo Magic adapter is integrated into your existing network, it appears in a list of available and established connections.

Pairing - Using custom password

You can also assign your network a custom PLC password you pick yourself. Enter this password for each devolo Magic adapter in the Network password field and confirm your settings by clicking the Disk icon.

Note that the custom password is not assigned to the whole PLC network automatically. In

stead, you must assign it separately to each of your devolo Magic adapters.

Powerline domain name

The Powerline domain name specifies the name of your PLC network.

Master selection

The function can be used to improve the quality of the network.

• Preferred at gateway: defines the devolo Magic adapter connected directly to the router; this option is useful if the main task of this devolo Magic adapter is to connect to the router/internet while any other devolo Magic adapter in the PLC network communicates directly with it. Each adapter of the PLC network must be within the range of the adapter on the router.
  Automatic: master mode is assigned spontaneously depending on the current connection quality; the devolo Magic adapter with the strongest connection is selected.

Unpairing - Removing an adapter from a network

To remove a devolo Magic adapter from your devolo Magic network, click Leave Powerline network.
Wait until the LED flashes red and then disconnect the devolo Magic adapter from the mains supply.

Compatibility mode

Using as VDSL connection may negatively impact the performance of the bandwidth connection by crosstalk of the signal.

Compatibility Mode

In rcase, VDS, convection problems can be caused by crosstalk with the powerline signal. If automatic compatibility mode is enabled, the device will try to detect this situation and adjust its output signal accordingly, which should provide the best balance between performance and mitigation of crosstalk.
Automatic compatibility mode (recurrent model)

if automatic mode is disabled or cannot reliably detect crosscut, a static mitigation profile will be used instead. Select the profile which matches the type of your VDSU connection or select "Full Power" for no mitigation at all.

*If enabled, any change will cause a PLC restart, thus connection might be lost.

In order to mitigate any potential negative effects the device provides the following options:

Automatic compatibility mode If the option Automatic compatibility mode (re

commended) is enabled, the device can automatically adjust the output signal to avoid interference as much as possible. This option is configured by default.

Manual compatibility mode

If an interference has not been eliminated despite activating the automatic setting, please disable it and set the compatibility mode as well as the signal transmission profile manually:

MIMO

Full power
VDSL 17a (default)
VDSL35b

SISO

Full power
VDSL 17a (default)
VDSL 35b

Get in touch with your internet provider to find out which signal transmission profile is the best option for your internet connection.

The MIMO operating mode and the VDSL 17a signal transmission profile are configured by default.

In the factory default settings, only the Retrieve network settings from a DHCP server option for IPv4 is enabled. This means that the IPv4 address is retrieved automatically from a DHCP server. The

currently assigned network data are visible (greyed out).

If a DHCP server is already present on the network for assigning IP addresses (e.g. your Internet router), you should leave the Retrieve network settings from a DHCP server option enabled so that the devolo Magic adapter automatically receives an address from it.

If you want to assign a static IP address, make entries accordingly for the Address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS server fields.

Confirm your settings by clicking the Disk icon.

Then, restart the devolo Magic adapter (see Chapter 4.7.3 Configuration) to ensure that your changes take effect.

IPv6 configuration

If you want automatic IP address assignment and there is already a DHCP server present on the network for assigning IP addresses (e.g. your Internet router), enable the Retrieve network settings from a DHCP server option to ensure that the devolo Magic adapter automatically receives an address from it.

If you want to assign a static IP address, make entries accordingly for the Address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS server fields.

4.7.2 Management

System information lets you enter user-defined names in the Device name (hostname) and Device location fields. Both pieces of information are particularly helpful if multiple devolo Magic adapters are to be used and identified in the network.

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

By default, the built-in web interface of the devolo Magic adapter is not protected by a password. We recommend assigning a password when the installation of the devolo Magic adapter is complete to protect it against tampering by third parties.

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

You can use Identify Device to identify the corresponding devolo Magic adapterby a flashing PLC LED (house symbol). This is especially helpful when using multiple devolo Magic adapters.

In Power Management, you can enable Powersave mode and Standby mode on the devolo Magic adapter.

If Powersave mode has been enabled, the devolo Magic adapter switches to PowerSave mode automatically whenever reduced data transmission over ethernet is detected.

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

If Standby mode is enabled, the devolo Magic adapter automatically switches to Standby mode if no ethernet connection has been enabled, i.e. if no network device (e.g. computer) is switched on and connected to the network interface and if Wi-Fi is disabled.

In this mode, the devolo Magic adapter is not accessible over the Powerline network. As soon as the network device (e.g. computer) connected to the network interface is switched on again, your adapter can also be accessed over the electrical wiring again.

• Powersave mode is disabled in the devolo Magic adapter factory default settings.

Standby mode is enabled in the devolo Magic adapter factory default condition.

The LED settings let you disable the LED status display of the Wi-Fi and Powerline LEDs.

An error status is indicated by corresponding flashing behaviour regardless of this setting.

For information on the LED behaviour of the devolo Magic adapter in standby mode, refer to Chapter 2.3.1 Reading the PLC indicator light/ 2.3.3 Reading the Wi-Fi indicator light.

You can completely disable the operating buttons on the devolo Magic adapter in order to protect yourself against possible changes. Simply disable the Enable PLC button or Enable Wi-Fi button option.

The operating buttons are enabled in the devolo Magic adapter factory default settings.

Under Time zone, you can select the current time zone, e.g. Europe/Berlin. The Time server (NTP) option lets you specify a time server. A time server is a server on the Internet whose task consists of providing the exact time. Most time servers are coupled with a radio clock. Select your time zone and time server; the devolo Magic adapter auto

matically switches between standard time and summer time.

Please note that the Wi-Fi is always switched on or off for the entire network. Therefore, stop Config Sync first on a device that you want to configure or switch separately.

5 Appendix

5.1 Bandwidth optimization

To significantly improve the transmission capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following "connection rules":

Plug the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next directly into a wall socket. Avoid using power strips. This may impair the transmission of the PLC signals.
- If there are several sockets in the wall directly next to each other, they behave like a power strip. Individual sockets are optimal.

Powerline Network
To form one Powerline network, all Services 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.
Instead of pressing the physical button on the device itself, you can also activate the following button:

Start point

When you activate the following button, the current password will be deleted.
4ppw#o#r#n# network

Instead of the auto-generated passwords you can also assign your own password for encryption. The same password must be entered for all devices which should be part of the Same Powerline network.

Compatibility Mode
In rare cases, VDLS connection problems can be caused by crosstalk with the powerline signal. of automatic compatibility mode is enabled; the powerline connection problem in this situation and adjust its output signal accordingly, which should provide the best balance between performance and mitigation of crosstalk.
Automatic compatibility mode (recommended)

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