Sometimes it just takes a little thing to make a big impact on a product. But what is the "little thing" that makes this adaptor so special?

The Devolo dLAN 500 AVmini is a neat implementation of the IEEE 1901 standard, with small units belying their capabilities.

We're big fans of Devolo's powerline networking adaptors, so we had high hopes for the Devolo dLAN 500 AVtriple+. Speeds can reach a maximum of 500Mbps.

The easy way to create a wired network

The dLAN 200 AV USB Extender has great potential

A good way to get broadband and wireless networking to otherwise inaccessible parts of your home.

A powerline networking adapter from Devolo offering 200Mbps network speeds

The new powerline networking kit from Devolo comes with LCD screens and 200Mb/s speeds

Speed and ease of use in a slightly uninspiring design

The new Devolo 200AV Easy Starter Kit consists of two dLan 200AV Easy adapters

This is something we've been hoping Devolo would release for an age now. Having played around with the company's HomePlug stuff before, we know that its solutions offer quality connections

First we had 14Mbps networks, then 85Mbps. Now the latest upgrade from Devolo promises 200Mbps and introduces numerous features to make the resultant network better suited to video streaming. But does it deliver?
Wireless seems to have stolen all the headlines in home networking. But it has its drawbacks. Setting up a wireless network still isn't child's play, and real performance never lives up to the number written on the box
