Channels
There are 13 channels available in the 2.4 GHz

and any connection problems are avoided.
There are 19 channels available in the 5 GHz
frequency band.

The devolo Magic adapter
automatically executes the channel selection in
this setting. In other words, if the last connected
station logs out, a search for a suitable channel is
carried out immediately. If no stations are
connected, the device automatically selects a
channel every 15 minutes.
It is worth noting that connected devices also have
to support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz.
From channel 52 onward you go into the radar

wireless channels are used by nearby devices,
