devolo invests its development resources into improving dLAN® technology through its own patented solutions. Powerline solutions are employed in private households as well as commercial environments and they lead the way in future-oriented energy data distribution and home automation. The company's core product is dLAN®, a technology that allows flexible networks over existing wiring such as electrical and coaxial lines. That being said today on our test bench we have a very useful product that combines the best of both worlds (Wired and Wireless connectivity) the dLAN 500 WiFi Powerline Network Kit by devolo.ĭevolo AG is the leading European company on the market in Powerline communication solutions. Of course most people use WiFi for everyday tasks that don't really involve sensitive information but the few people that do need to take extra security measures that regular consumers simply can't afford or just don't have access to. Personally i admit that wireless freedom can't be compared to wires but at the same time the exact opposite can be said about security since wireless signals can be hacked much easier compared to wired connectivity. Since the speed difference between copying one file and the folder with the files already known (approximately, 20%), further tests were carried out with only one file.Ĭonnect via Wi-Fi Standard IEEE 802.11n (the theoretical maximum speed of up to 600 Mbit / s was used adapter Trendnet TEW-648UBM).Ĭopy speed when connected via Wi-Fi IEE 802.11n standard, slightly lower than the rate when connected via powerline adapters.We all knew that wireless technology would eventually become mainstream and surpass the classic wired one in terms of popularity but judging by the number of WiFi compatible products that come out each day the time it actually took for that to happen was quite faster than what we'd imagined. Copying a file folder = 61.43 Mbit / sĬonnecting the powerline adapter into an outlet (separate rooms).Ģ. Speed when copying multiple files is slightly lower than when copying a single file.Ĭonnecting the powerline adapters in a single socket (adjacent places) -Ģ. (Pc-1 → patch-cord → Router → patch-cord → Pc-2).Ģ. To check and eliminate possible bottlenecks in the configuration for testing, tests were conducted on a cable Ethernet. In the calculations of 1 megabit = 1048576 bits = 131072 bytes. The measurements were performed 3 times, the obtained values were averaged. To determine the rate applied clear and logical method:Ĭopy (file) / (folder) and measure the time up.ĭivide the size (File) / (folder) at a time and get the rate. I liked that producer has provided the ability to switch off bright indicators and as a result it will not interfere at night.Īutomatically settings of Wifi networks is working faultlessly.Īfter 5 seconds after pushing the button “automatically settings” the network is working and devices have connected with each other.Īlso you can scan the QR-code or the password which written on the adapter`s sticker and than you can connect another devices. Indicators have informed about available three networks, powerline network and two Wi-Fi networks. Powerline adapters found each other after a few seconds. Elements are installed efficiently, the solder points look securely. Comparing with "Devolo dLAN® 500 AVplus" the size of elements started to be smaller and adapter started to be smaller too. One adapter Powerline dLAN® 500 (without Wi-Fi) looks like this. As usual DEVOLO quality of producing is perfect. The material of case is white plastic, sufficiently durable and solid. The edges are smooth, there are no rinds, the joining surfaces fit closely to each other. Quality of boxing is really good, but ordinary, nothing special.
