Barbecuing 4.0 – with WiFi Move Technology from devolo

With the growing number of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, the importance for stable WiFi access in every nook and cranny of your home is on the rise. With this in mind, devolo has developed its powerful WiFi Move Technology, which guarantees optimum WiFi access and is configured in just minutes. Multiple compact access points, which are simply plugged into power outlets, create a single, shared WiFi network. Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones automatically choose the access point with the strongest signal. Full WiFi service is always available at the WiFi access points, because the data is distributed via the power line. The "WiFi shield" which this creates ensures that users can move freely both inside and outside with their mobile devices, always with the best WiFi reception.

Simple set-up by app for smartphone and tablet

With a free-of-charge app for smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), WiFi Move is extremely easy to set up. Thanks to an intuitive user interface, the installation can be performed by anyone, specialists and non-specialists alike, in just a few minutes. All settings automatically apply to all adapters so that the entire network need be configured only once.

Easy expansion of the WiFi home network at the press of a button

The dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac can create its own WiFi home network or supplement an existing network. Currently, many users want to expand their existing WiFi network – devolo made this function as easy as it has ever been: WiFi expansion can be carried out simply by pressing a button. This means that a fully functional WiFi hotspot can be set up at every power outlet in no time. Mobile terminal devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops automatically switch from the WiFi router to the dLAN adapter if the adapter is providing a stronger WiFi signal. As a result, top-performance WiFi reception is guaranteed even in your garden. And the network is secure. The integrated socket with child-safety feature ensures that no power outlet goes to waste. The dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac also features an integrated mains filter that optimises data transmission.

dLAN 500 WiFi is available as a starter kit for 99,90 euros. The starter kit dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac, which includes the adapter and a dLAN 1200+, will be offered for 189,90 euros (recommended retail price).
