The devolo dLAN 200 AV wireless N starter kit is especially suitable for all areas at home, in which a lot of network-enabled devices are present. For instance, the living room with Internet-TV, Blu-ray player and the couch for convenient wireless surfing - or the Home-Office with desktop computer, network printer and NAS hard-disk. No matter whether via WLAN or network cable - all devices are network easily and immediately with the dLAN adapter.

For various reasons, I couldn't relocate my router to a more central location in the house and I didn't want wires trailing about. The Devolo 1409 dLAN 200 AV Wireless-N Starter Kit has solved the problem in a very neat, unobtrusive way. I am not in any way knowledgeable about networks and was rather nervous about how easy I'd find the installation but there were no problems at all.The instructions are really straightforward - just a sheet with a diagram and that's really all you need. You connect the smaller Devolo plug to your router using the Ethernet cable supplied and then you plug it in to a nearby electric socket. You then connect the second, larger Devolo plug to an electric socket somewhere else in your house. In my case, I sited the second Devolo plug in the hallway, as it seemed the most...

This review is from: Devolo 1409 dLAN 200 AV Wireless-N Starter Kit (Electronics) The Devolo 1409 dLan 200 AV Wireless N starter kit is a great piece of gear which lets you set up a broadband network using the electrical wiring system in your house. It allows you to connect equipment wirelessly to this network or set up wired connections using ethernet cable.In the box you will find two white plastic plugs which will fit into standard 13amp house sockets, a length of ethernet cable, a quick start guide and a CD which contains detailed set up instructions and a 54 page e-manual. Upgrading and adding to an existing Devolo network, I expected the set up to be a breeze. It turned out to be a bit of a nightmare of my own making. Perhaps I was too confident. I did, however, find the accompanying quick start guide rather ambiguous and confusing; and the manual very detailed, but intimidating, to begin with. Actually, the set up IS extremely SIMPLE. Let me try and help you not repeat my own experience. If you look at the underside of the... Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase( What is this?) This review is from: Devolo 1409 dLAN 200 AV Wireless-N Starter Kit (Electronics) I live in an old house with thick walls that is pretty WiFi-unfriendly. With the increasing number of WiFi-enabled devices in the house (2 x laptops, iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Wii, PS/3) I needed a way to extend the coverage from my BT Home Hub. I had already used and been impressed by the older wired versions of the Devolo LAN extenders, so had high hopes for the wireless extender, and wasn't disappointed. In fact I had my first WiFi device accessing Google within 5 minutes of opening the box.You just plug the non-WiFi adapter into a power socket near your internet router, then connect it to said router via the supplied ethernet cable. Then you plug in the WiFi extender into a power socket in the area where you want your WiFi hotspot, having noted down the Sec ID printed on the device. Finally, you get your WiFi device to search for available wireless networks. When it finds the Devolo, you key in the security code, and that's it - job done. One point to... Read more |
