VDSL and devolo Powerline – a dynamic duo

The devolo VDSL Performer ensures an effective interplay of VDSL and Powerline, delivering interference-free high-speed internet throughout the entire house.

An innovation from devolo: the VDSL Performer

When power and telephone lines run too close together in VDSL connections, the signals can interfere with each other. The result: disrupted connections, endlessly loading websites, or buffering streams. The VDSL Performer from devolo ensures the stability of your home network – and delivers maximum performance with minimal effort.

How Magic Powerline harmonizes with VDSL

The VDSL Performer is a proven software feature from devolo that enhances the smooth interaction of VDSL and Powerline Communication (PLC).

And this is how it works: Our powerline adapters query various information from the router – including signal parameters and the VDSL profile of your customer connection. Subsequently, the powerline network optimizes itself by having the adapters individually adjust their transmission levels.

The Magic adapters ensure maximum performance for your individual home network – fully automated and continuously.

Regarding the Magic products

Enjoy uninterrupted IPTV entertainment

When VDSL and Powerline signals interfere with each other, it can also lead to picture and sound disturbances with MagentaTV and other IPTV offerings. Not so with devolo: The VDSL Performer ensures a flawless data flow and perfect entertainment.

This means that devolo powerline adapters are also compatible without issues with VDSL connections from Telekom and other providers.
