Devolo dLAN 200AVmini router review

Devolo dLAN 200AVmini Miniature adapter for networking over the mains, the very simple to use and install. Require high quality power installations, in which case it can get very good performance. Such networking is very convenient where for any reason, LAN and WiFi not come to mind.

Powerline adapters are very popular as a very simple solution for networking where there is no place for traditional cable and WiFi is not an option, and it is not surprising because it is a much simpler network wherever there is power installations. Devolo, although a new name in our market, there are a lot of experience when Powerline (or shorter hand) comes as a specialized network devices that use this technology. Model 200AVmini the adapter miniature series speed 200Mbit / s, and is very convenient for practically all conditions, only to provide quality electrical installations as necessary to keep everything working as it should.

Devolo dLAN 200AVmini

Devolo 200AVmini is housed in a miniature housing Dimension 90x58x29 mm, and resembles a smallish power adapter, just as white and with a status LED forward. Unlike the 200AVPlus, there is no additional outlet as there is no ability to filter voltage, but on the other hand we have the Dynamic PowerSave technology that can help save electricity by the adapter turns off whenever not in use for some time. This will not affect performance because the adapter is virtually instant wake from Sleep's. The packaging is standard, with one LAN cable and CD with instructions for use.

The bottom of the adapters we see a LAN connection (100Mb / s) and key that is used to include 128-bit encryption, ensuring data security. As we have already and they said, installation is extremely simple, the adapter plugs into an existing electrical outlet (to see that this is not a voltage divider). What in practice has shown that the best connected dLAN adapters are on the same stage, which unfortunately is not always possible. If we use multiple adapters (virtually no limitations), just one is connected to a network device that has Internet access, so all other devices connected to 200AVmini get Internet access.

Summary

Although the manufacturer, the flow of 200Mbit/si range of 300m are not realistic or possible in practice, it is for connecting devices in an apartment or house this is very practical. The quality of current installations, will greatly affect the performance, so that those with power kubura unfortunately will not be able to get some really impressive numbers. For now, seems it will most benefit those who have been complicated by the pulling cable or WiFi set parameters, and they want to in minutes or networked devices connected to the Internet.
