Lacking the ability to add extra Wi-Fi hotspots or create Mesh Wi-Fi networks, the more basic LAN versions of Magic are more like conventional Powerline kits. If a Magic 2 adapter is connected to the router, then you can add Magic 1 and Magic 2 adapters, and each point is then fine at its own theoretical maximum. If the router is connected to a Magic 1 adapter, then all units in the house will be restricted to that speed. You can mix and match products, but make sure you have your fastest base unit connected directly to the router.
The Wi-Fi adapters use either Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6. This extra speed is recommended for UltraHD streaming and particularly busy data-download homes.Īn adapter is labelled either just “ LAN” (Local Area Network, or just plain wired network to you and me, with Gigabit Ethernet port) or “ Wi-Fi” that can create a new wireless hotspot in the second room and usually also includes two LAN Gigabit Ethernet ports. Magic 2 has a max (again theoretical) speed of 2,400Mbps.

Devolo believes this is more than capable of providing a network fast enough for everyday home-office and browsing applications, plus HD streaming. Magic 1’s maximum (theoretical) speed is 1,200Mbps. WiFi 6 access points work with “older” Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 end devices and access points (routers, repeaters, etc). Wi-Fi 6 is, like all most other Wi-Fi standards, backwards compatible. For more, read our explainer on what is Wi-Fi 6. And Basic Service Set (BSS) Coloring reduces interference due to congestion, ensuring consistent service to multiple connected devices in high-density environments.Īll you need to know, though, is that Wi-Fi 6 is the fastest consumer Wi-Fi there is right now. Target Wait Time helps devices conserve power, and prevents channel contention. Both are multiuser technologies that enable simultaneous bidirectional communication between an access point (AP) and end-users.
Multi-user Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) are two of the most significant technical enhancements in WI-FI 6. Wi-Fi 6 (also known by the less snappy title 802.11ax) can boost Wi-Fi speeds by up to 50%, by smartly cramming more data into one channel.
