Christmas is all about the latest technology trends, and this year most wish lists will be topped with big ticket items like the Sony PS4 Pro, XBox One X or the latest smart TV.
So whether you’re playing new releases or streaming your favourite festive films, you need a strong Internet connection that has the capacity to manage these devices all at once.
If you’re struggling to achieve complete coverage throughout your home with your router alone, then you could be saying ‘bah humbug’ on the big day.
Introducing devolo's ‘whole home’ Wi-Fi solution
Wi-Fi can be unreliable for various reasons, from the placement of your router to the thickness of your walls. Luckily, devolo has got the perfect solution to bring Christmas cheer and resolve the issue of poor Wi-Fi coverage.
Devolo’s dLAN 1200+ WiFi Powerline adapter is the ultimate 'whole home' Wi-Fi fix.
Using your electrical circuit to provide new hotspots around the home with connection speeds of up to 1200Mbps, it works by connecting one of the adapters to your router and placing another adapter into a socket in a room with poor Wi-Fi signal.
The Wi-Fi signal is then passed through your electrical circuit to the adapter – the signal isn’t 'stretched' so your connection maintains strength.
All adapters are fitted with their own pass-through socket so you don’t have to worry about losing an outlet and it won’t affect your signal.
The great thing about the devolo Powerline adapter is that it allows you to use multiple adapters across your home, so you can extend your signal all the way to the attic, basement or even the 'get away from it all' shed.
Devolo’s GigaGate WiFi Bridge can also extend your Wi-Fi, so if your living room has a strong connection but your upstairs office is lacking coverage, you can connect the GigaGate WiFi Bridge to carry your router's signal.
The connection is lightning-fast and up to 2Gbps, achieved simply by plugging the base unit into your router and placing the satellite unit where the connection is needed, whether that's for TVs or games consoles that need an extra boost.
The GigaGate WiFi Bridge is a powering piece of kit, but it’s also one that can be extended thanks to the devolo GigaGate Satellite units. The main unit uses 4 x 4 Quantenna Technology that enables it to provide effective wireless connections.
Up to eight satellite units can be connected to expand your home network. They all have four Ethernet ports, a fifth high-speed Gigabit LAN port for extra connectivity options and each Satellite is a strong Wi-Fi access point.
With devolo’s dLAN 1200+ WiFi and GigaGate, getting great connectivity in time for Christmas is simple.
