Devolo dLan Highspeed II Starter Kit Review

[ChessRunescape]

I have a problem. I have another model, but anyways, sometimes the download speed from one device to another is 5 mb and the upload is 100 mb or opposite. is it an error or is it the power saver function or something? how do i fix it? got the numbers from the cockpit.

[Mr2018TV]

do they need to be 200 meters from each other or all from your router

[dazz4590]

@Mr2018TV No, thats the maximum distance away from each other.

[MrKyle080906]

do you have to have 2? or can you just have one and plug it in away from your router?

[dazz4590]

@MrKyle080906 Yes you need 2. It doesn't create an open wireless network or use another one.

[MrKyle080906]

@dazz4590 ok thanks

[omry10]

how much mbps does it give you ?

[craigjaggs]

So say its connecting up to a PS3 but you have a 360 as well, can you split it? or will you lose a bit of speed?

[oblivikid]

@craigjaggs you can split it but thats my current issue do i buy a £5 splitter an lose speed or well spend a extra £60 and keep the speed i currently have 2 av 200 easy (white) and want to connect it to my old 85 one ( blue) but yeah you can get a ethernet splitter

Don't bother ringing Customer Technical Services for Devolo unless you want to spend all day on the phone waiting whilst paying per minute for the call. A good way of making money.

so, i plug one of them into a wall socket near the router and connect it.

bud now i want to plug the other one into a socket outside near my hammock thats a diffrent group. dous it needs to be on the same group?

[dazz4590]

@kiddy1992 What do you mean different group? If its the same dLan kit then it will work. Try it.

[kiddy1992]

@dazz4590 diffrent power group. in my house every 2 or 3 rooms have there own fuse. the washingmachine and dryer do to. so do the wallsockets in the barn. bud they all com to getter in the fusecloset (is that how you translate it?).

[dazz4590]

@kiddy1992 They don't go via the power, they travel via radio waves 2.4ghz. So they'll work.

[kiddy1992]

@dazz4590 so why you cant plug it in an extension if its wireless. i'm pretty sure it goes trough the power lines

[gammla6]

do i have to have (<---:D) a router for using this devolo thing that sends wlan ?? or do i just have to put it in any jack and then it sends w-lan???i need wlan for my ipod touch so please help !!!!:D

[gammla6]

do i have to have (<---:D) an router or do i just have to put the wirelles adapter in the jack ?? and then i can use internet with my ipod touch ???:D please help i can´t find something

[dazz4590]

@gammla6 You need a router/modem to connect to the internet. Then you just connect one of these dLan to the router. and the other in a room you want internet. However you can't get internet on your iPod Touch this way, the iPod Touch only connects through WiFi which this is not

[freddo27]

Damn things wiped out my neighbour's radio reception....Ofcom told me to use a direct rj45 conenction from hub to pc. That worked faster and much better, and cost a couple of quid. Why didn't I do that in the first place?

[skaterwouter1]

is its better than standard wireless LAN?

[dazz4590]

@skaterwouter1 Its a more closed network potentially but it depends.

[bolloxinator]

@skaterwouter1 No. It causes terrible interference to radio reception too. This might not matter to you if you don't listen to radio, but anyone within half a mile trying to listen to short wave radio is going to have big problems. They screech like hell and jam everything. Look up 'bt vision interference'. There's a legal challenge coming up soon, to get these things banned. Wifi works great, but you can save a lot of money by just using a simple, tried and trusted wired network connection.

[justl00kingaround]

what is this exactually?INTERNET? 

[dazz4590]

@justl00kingaround To carry a wireless network so yes can be the Internet

[justl00kingaround]

@dazz4590 ahh wireless...aint strong enough then

[Aguinaldo06]

Hey. Good video.

I got one question: I play games online if I buy that device will my internet speed change??

I download things throw torrent and my max speed is - 9MB Down. / 1MB Upload. will my speeds change???

[dazz4590]

No the speeds shouldn't change as the speed the dLan transmits is well above these.

[freddo27]

@Aguinaldo06 Some of these adapters are known to affect DSL speeds, as well as interefring with radio reception.

[gojiiita]

oh okey i see

[dazz4590]

Glad to know

[gojiiita]

When im doing it from the router to a ps3

so the one cable goes in the ps3 and the other one in the router?

but how does the computer detect if theres something in the router?

I have a Wlan dlink router

[aiceberry2000]

could u do a tutorial on how to connect the 2 computers to net together?

[dazz4590]

do you mean 2 computers network today? or one computer connected to the internet?

[aiceberry2000]

I got one router n WLAN connected to one computer and I dont know how my laptop can access to the net

[dazz4590]

Is this anything to do with the Devolo dLan or is it just a separate wireless internet issue?

[hargles]

nice one mate!

[dacoolguy999]

Thanks man. Helped a lot! ;)

[MacOsxOne]
