It is best to wire, otherwise the powerline system works well to avoid signal loss as well. But to do this you must be sure that your electrical network is the same in both rooms where you want to use the PLC. The indicated data rate is downstream. Yes, it can go up to 2.4 GB/s. :)
Yes, Powerline routes Ethernet via power cable and back to Ethernet, which means that at least two adapters are always required. A device must be connected to Ethernet on each side of these adapters. So either modem <-> router or router <-> PC

I bought this one and later - another single device to extend the network to another room. Worked without any problems and synchronized by button click.

Hello, no, MAgic2 only works with Magic2. It's hard, but that's the way it is.

Hello Nico. You need the starter kit. This also has a routing function. Greetings Sam

Hello PeterJohn7, I agree with the previous speaker and would like to add something. In principle, the individual components are compatible with each other without any problems. However, a new complete set only makes sense if the other "extensions" (this is the name of the devices that are connected to the "base unit") can also be used/needed. If effectively only the basic piece is needed and no additional extensions, then it is better to buy only a single piece which is connected to the router. If it has to be 3 LAN ports (the one that broke in your case): Devolo Magic 2 LAN triple (2400 Mbit/s) If only 1 LAN is sufficient, it can also be this device: Devolo Magic 2 LAN extension 1-1-1 (2400 Mbit/s) By the way, any component can be connected to the router. There is therefore actually no "base" or "extension" ... they are all the same devices (they only differ in the number of LAN ports.
If the Powerline signal also arrives in the basement, that is no problem. Powerline itself does not build a new LAN network, it uses the existing one and the IP address range is the same everywhere the devices have reception. The pair buttons on the devices only ensure that the powerline devices encrypt the data connection from powerline to powerline device.
Good day This product itself is "HomeGrid" certified and is compatible with all the models that are. The certification or "standard" is indicated in the specifications. Furthermore, this topic is touched upon in the description. Kind regards
Hello Anonymous: I have Magic 1 and 2 with and without WIFI in use in the same network and works perfectly (5 devices).
Ja, siehe Details unter https://www.devolo.ch/support/faq
Salut. No, not with this product variant. There is another variant that enables WLAN (or as it says in the product name: WIFI): Devolo Magic 1 WiFi Starter Kit 2-1-2 (1200Mbit/s)
Hello, you can add magic elements with each other, without any problem.

Yes, because Powerline/dLan uses the phase and the neutral conductor for data transmission, there is actually no transmission if different phases want to be used. However, a (probably rather poor) connection can occur if somewhere (e.g. in the electrical distributor/fuse box) the three phases run directly parallel to each other over a short distance, so that the signal can crosstalk from one phase to the other. There are phase couplers to enable or improve connections via different phases. However, they must be installed by specialists. https://www.allnet.de/at/allnet-brand/produkte/powerline/powerline-zubehoer/p/allnet-all1688pc-powerline-phasenkoppler-3-phasen-lx/ Basically, the same applies to Powerline/dLan as to Wlan. It may work, but it doesn't have to.

Correct, the socket is covered and the devolo part cannot be rotated. Attention: This is not a design error. According to the devolo instructions, additional devices must be connected to the mains via the devolo. This ensures an optimal connection. It is possible to connect a power strip or a multiple plug to the devolo to compensate for the loss of slots.
2 Devolo Magic 2 LAN with one connection each and two patch cables (approx. 1.5-2m)
What is the difference between the magic 2 wifi and the magic 2 lan?
They both have a lan connection
But the price also makes a considerable difference 80.- --> 140.- Magic 2 LAN --> 1xLAN Magic 2 Wifi --> 2xLAN + Wifi

Hello Dominik What you mean by base is not quite clear to me. But yes: I have one of these adapters connected directly to the router and connect other Devolo adapters in the rest of the house to the router via the mains. Whether the other adapters are Wi-Fi-capable or not should not matter. Best regards Michael
I don't know, but have a look at this link: https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/QuestionAndAnswer/kann-man-zum-devolo-dlan-1200-wifi-ac-starter-kit-auch-zusaetzlich-die-mystrom-geraete-von-swisscom--79420 Even if the devices modulate on different frequencies, I wouldn't recommend it. Who knows what kind of interference will occur. Either use one or the other product family.
Yes, THIS Devolo product has no WLAN function at all. But I use it to connect my smart TV to the Internet without having to have a WLAN active...
Helpful answer
in the devolo software, at least, you cannot define which other devolo boxes the boxes should communicate with and which not... respectively, the boxes connect to all other available boxes... but i have never created a vlan myself, so as i understand it, it could work if you just connect the box you need as a transmitter to a switch where you can configure it that way... ;)

You need at least 2 Power Line adapters of the same line. In this case, 2 x Magic 2. Two devices in the Starter Kit are cheaper than buying them individually. However, there is no master / slave principle. The adapters have equal rights.
Yes, it is possible.
