can present a real challenge for your Wi-Fi net-
work—it has to regulate the distribution of
data streams from the Wi-Fi access point (e.g.
router, devolo device) to the end devices.
Multi-user MIMO technology makes it possible
for your devolo device to supply your smart-
phone, tablet and other devices with data
streams simultaneously—at the speed you
require and at an efficient transfer rate.
Thanks to Multi-user MIMO technology, you
can finally enjoy using the Internet without
long wait times during online gaming, sporadic
drop-outs while streaming in HD or slow
downloads.

Fast roaming (IEEE 802.11r) streamlines the
registration process for Wi-Fi end devices, such
as smartphones or tablets, when switching to
another Wi-Fi hotspot.
The feature Fast roaming is not compatible
with all Wi-Fi clients. If there will be
connection problems with one of your
devices, please deactivate these option.
In factory default condition of the devolo Magic
adapter Fast roaming is turned off by default.

The access-point steering feature (AP stee-
ring) function enhances your Wi-Fi access
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next
point by adding intelligent network optimisa-
tion. This function actively helps your end
devices connect to the optimal network access
point. If the Wi-Fi access point identifies ano-
ther Wi-Fi access point within your own net-
work that has a stronger signal and better
reception, it redirects the end device to that
point automatically.
In particular, older smartphones, tablets
and the like will remain connected to their
Wi-Fi access point (e.g. router, devolo de-
vice) until the signal gets interrupted. Only
then will they switch to a new Wi-Fi access
point with better reception.
b
Integrated band steering ensures that all Wi-Fi
stations automatically switch to the optimum
frequency band (2.4 and 5 GHz frequency
band) in order to use the best Wi-Fi connection
at all times.
b
With the new Airtime Fairness function, fast
Wi-Fi devices are treated preferentially. Older
devices for example, that take a long time to
download something, no longer slow down
the Wi-Fi network.
In order to turn the mesh functions on, activate the
Enable option. The mesh function of the
devolo Magic adapter is switched on by default.
