Garden Day. More Wi-Fi in green spaces
On June 8th, it's Garden Day. Especially in recent years, many have transformed their gardens into new favorite spots with colorful plants and grills – and of course equipped them with smart technology. Whether it's a home office in the greenery, a cozy evening with friends and family, or relaxing in a hammock – nothing works without strong Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi makes spring and summer more colorful
In summer, it's not just the guests at the next garden party who are hungry. Countless multimedia devices, which are now indispensable, also need to be fed: with strong Wi-Fi. After all, party music is streamed from the internet, the outdoor cinema in the backyard requires a stable online connection, and using a tablet is only enjoyable with a reliable Wi-Fi signal. However, the home router often lacks the necessary signal strength to fully cover the house and garden with Wi-Fi. Those who want to enjoy their personal playlists while gardening or don’t want to miss their favorite series while sunbathing quickly become frustrated with dead zones. This is where devolo reliably comes to the rescue.
This is how the internet comes to the garden
The practical Wi-Fi adapters from devolo, whether with or without Powerline functionality, provide stable mesh Wi-Fi everywhere and turn any power outlet into a lightning-fast Wi-Fi access point. The mesh functionality of the devolo adapters ensures stable Wi-Fi coverage. Alternatively, devolo has recently introduced a 5G router that is ready to use in no time. Setting up all devolo devices is a breeze, thanks to the devolo Home Network App. This way, everything is guaranteed to run smoothly at the next garden party and during public viewing with friends and family.
Mesh repeater for medium-sized areas
To specifically eliminate weak Wi-Fi in rooms on a floor or to extend the router's Wi-Fi to the balcony or terrace, a repeater can be helpful. It should ideally be placed halfway between the Wi-Fi router and the target location. For some repeater models, an LED display on the front can assist in finding the optimal position. The LEDs indicate whether the repeater is receiving a good Wi-Fi signal, which is crucial for the repeater to effectively "extend" a strong Wi-Fi signal into the outdoor area.
Powerline adapter for larger areas
In a large apartment or a multi-story house, repeaters are not sufficient. Ceilings, walls, and especially underfloor heating significantly weaken Wi-Fi signals. Powerline adapters come to the rescue here. They utilize the home's electrical circuit like a long data cable, so they are not affected by walls, ceilings, or underfloor heating. For the initial setup, Magic WiFi Starter Kits from devolo are suitable, as they include a LAN adapter and a Wi-Fi adapter. The LAN adapter is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, and the Wi-Fi adapter can be plugged into an outlet where fast Wi-Fi access is needed. Additional adapters can be purchased to expand the Wi-Fi network. Multiple devolo Magic Wi-Fi adapters connect to create a seamless mesh Wi-Fi network, providing coverage for larger households from the basement to the attic and even into the garden.
5G router for flexible use
The internet connection is down. The fixed-line expansion in the area leaves much to be desired. Fast Wi-Fi should also be available in the garden. In these situations, the devolo WiFi 6 Router 3600 5G LTE is helpful. The new devolo router connects to 3G, 4G, or 5G networks to establish an internet connection. All that is needed is a nano-SIM. After the plug-and-play installation, the router provides a strong mesh Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 3,600 Mbps. This makes the devolo router a flexible Wi-Fi access point both indoors and outdoors – in the house, in apartments, on the balcony, terrace, or in the garden.
Plug & Play
devolo Wi-Fi systems can be plugged in for outdoor use in a location that is protected from water and direct sunlight. For added safety, it is advisable to plug the Wi-Fi adapters indoors, close to the balcony or garden door. The Wi-Fi signal will then extend into the garden. This way, you can save on the purchase of additional hardware for outdoor use.
