Especially if you want to sit in the garden further away from the house, where the house WLAN is no longer sufficient but where there may be a socket, this WLAN hotspot, which is supplied with "Internet" via a powerline network, could be quite interesting be. In my case, the garden is so big that even with my Google Wifi Mesh network, I can't get into all the corners.
But: In the farthest corner is a site trailer that was given a power connection many years ago. So I could get WiFi with the Devolo WiFi adapter at the interesting corner in the garden, which I couldn't achieve with the mesh network, because I simply cannot bridge the large, current-free route in the garden in any other way.
In the house and now also outside, devolo is advertising what is known as dLAN technology, which is supposed to spread the Internet from the router via the power grid throughout the house and in the garden. How the whole thing should work, that will be on the Website of the company described:
With dLAN® technology from devolo, you can use your home network flexibly throughout the house. You can connect your end devices in all rooms with full signal strength via LAN and WLAN. The dLAN® adapters easily bridge thick walls and large distances via the in-house power supply.
And that's how easy LAN is via the socket: Connect the router to the nearest socket using a dLAN® adapter, connect the second adapter in the desired room and start surfing. Whether in the attic, in the home office or in the basement: wherever there is a power connection, you can use your WiFi with a full signal.
