future reference.
DANGER! Electrical shock caused by
electricity
Do not reach into the electrical socket, do
not open the device and do not insert any
objects into the electrical socket or into the
ventilation openings
Users do not need to carry out any maintenance on
devolo devices. In the event of damage, disconnect
the devolo device from the mains supply by pulling
it or its plug out of the electrical socket. Then contact qualified specialist personnel (after-sales service) exclusively. Damage is deemed to have
occurred, for example,
b if the power plug is damaged.if the devolo
device has been showered with liquid (such as
rain or other water).
b if the devolo device is inoperable.
b if the housing of the devolo device is damaged.
Do not plug devolo devices directly into each
other. Devices that are plugged into each other
can experience a decrease in transmission rate.
DANGER! Electric shock caused by
electricity
Device must be plugged into a power
socket with a connected earth wire
devolo devices may be operated only on a mains
power supply as described on the rating plate.
To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply, unplug the device from the electrical socket.
The power socket and all connected network devices should be easily accessible so that you can
pull the power plug quickly if needed.

Preface 10
CAUTION! Heat development during operation
Certain housing components can become
very hot in certain situations. Attach device
so that it is touch-proof, observing optimal
positioning
devolo devices should only be installed at locations
that guarantee adequate ventilation. Slots and
openings on the housing are used for ventilation:
b Do not cover devolo devices during operation.
b Do not place any objects on devolo devices.
b Do not insert any objects into the openings of
devolo devices.
b devolo devices must not be placed directly
next to a naked flame (such as fire or candles).
b devolo devices must not be exposed to direct
heat radiation (e.g. radiator, direct sunlight).
CAUTION! Damage to housing from

devolo Magic throughout the home
2 Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all,
devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a
multimedia home of the future with noticeably
higher speed, more stability and greater range,
providing the perfect Internet experience as a
result!
Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy
to install, with impressive, innovative technology
and unbeatable performance.
devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini
Introduction 12
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn
was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry
association. devolo Magic products are certified
according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at
least two devolo Magic devices. For technical
reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series
are not compatible with dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the devolo
magic adapter:
Unpack– plug in – get started and be prepared
for the new generation of the tried-and-tested
Powerline technology and innovative mesh
WiFi with swiftness and stability:
Powerline
b At speeds up to 1200 Mbps
b Over distances up to 400 metres
b Security – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryp-
tion
Mesh WiFi
b At speeds up to 300 Mbps
b Two antennas cover the 2.4 Wi-Fi frequencies.
b Air-time fairness – Quicker Wi-Fi devices take
priority in the network.
b Roaming – Quickly and seamlessly connect to
the strongest Wi-Fi access point
b Security – with WPA3 for wireless n ("IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n" Wi-Fi high-speed standards)
b Convenient additional functions such as
guest WiFi and Config Sync are integrated in
the devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini.

13 Introduction
b Efficiency– The integrated PowerSave mode
reduces energy consumption automatically at
low data traffic.
b The 1 network connector on the
devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini let you connect
stationary network devices—such as a game
console, TV or media receiver—to your Internet
access point over the Powerline network (e.g.
Internet router).

2.3 Pairing – Establishing a Powerline connection
devolo Magic adapters that are in the factory default condition, i.e. have been recently purchased
or successfully reset (see Chapter 3.5 Removing
the devolo Magic adapter from a PLC network),
automatically start to attempt to pair (establish a
Powerline connection) with anotherdevolo Magic
adapter when reconnected to the mains supply.
Starting up a new devolo Magic PLC network
After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into
available power sockets, a new devolo Magic network is established automatically within 3 minutes.
Expanding an existing devolo Magic Powerline
network by adding another devolo Magic
adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 1 WiFi mini in
your devolo Magic- network, first you have to
connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters
devices as a network. This is accomplished by using
a shared Powerline password, which can be assigned in various ways:
b Using devolo Cockpit or the
devolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.4
Installation of devolo software)
b Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.5
Powerline)
b Using the Powerline button as described
below.
1 Plug the new devolo Magic adapter into an
available power socket and, for approximately
1 second, press the PLC button on a
devolo Magic adapter in your existing
devolo Magic network.
2 The new devolo Magic adapter pairs automati-
cally so no button needs to be pressed. The LED
of this adapter now also flashes white.
For each pairing operation, only one additional
devolo Magic adapter can be added at a time.

Introduction 16
After a short time, the flashing LED becomes a steady white light. The devolo Magic
adapter has been successfully integrated
into your existing devolo Magic network.
You can find detailed information about installing devolo Magic adapters in Chapter 3.3
