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.
devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini
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:

33 Network configuration
Channel
There are 13 channels available in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The channels recommended for Europe are the channels 1, 6 and 11. This ensures the frequency bands of the channels do not overlap and any connection problems are avoided.
The channel selection default setting is Automatic. The devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini 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.
Channels
In the Channel field, you can manually select a 2.4 GHz channel. If you are not sure which wireless channels are used by nearby devices, select the Automatic option.
Security
The 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.

4.4.3Guest 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.
To set up a guest account, activate the Enable option.
Network configuration 34
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.
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 (WiFi 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.

4.4.4 Mesh
Mesh
All devolo Magic series WiFi adapters offer mesh Wi-Fi, which entails completely new and improved Wi-Fi functions:
b 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 access point. 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 1 WiFi mini Fast roaming is turned off by default.
b In addition, the new air-time fairness feature processes the requests of high-speed WiFi clients at higher priority. This prevents older devices, which may require more time for a download, from creating WiFi bottlenecks.
In order to turn the mesh functions on, activate the Enable option. The mesh function of the devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini is switched on by default.
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 setup option and then press the WPS button
