According to our expansion for powerline adapters expert
Expand your existing Devolo Magic 2 set to an extra room with the Devolo Magic 2 LAN extension. This way, you can make an extra fast network connection at an extra location as desired. You can build a home cinema in the attic or download lightning fast from the desktop computer in your study, for example. With a maximum speed of 2400Mbps, you can stream in Ultra HD and download or game without delay. The internet runs through the power grid in your house, so you don't have to run any cables.
You can only use this extension if you already have a Devolo Magic set at home.

I have a lot of experience with Powerline adapters and have owned and tested many of them. These Devolo adapters are indeed slightly faster than a 1200 Mbps variant. I end up somewhere between 30/40% compared to my current 1200 Mbps adapters.
The problem in my specific case is that these Devolo adapters lose the connection with each other. That is not useful while streaming video. A problem that I have encountered especially in recent years at Devolo (in my situation) Streaming (preferably high bit rate) video is a good way to check whether the adapters are stable.
Note: The speed of a Powerline adapter depends on many factors. The speed is mainly theoretical! Don't be blinded by those 2400 Mbps. A quarter or less of this speed is more realistic in most cases.

On a less good electricity connection, this "Devolo Magic 2" achieves a transmission speed that is approximately 40% higher than the "Devolo 1200+" on the same electricity grid.

Plugged in both adapters: the first in an earthed socket in the meter cupboard near the router, the other two floors higher in the attic also in an earthed socket. The adapters had found each other within seconds, according to the manual that can take 3 minutes. Then plug the adapter into the router at the bottom and the adapter into the laptop at the top.
The speed I get is about 180 to 200 Mbit/s. That is nowhere near the advertised 2400 Mbit/s, but I think that is largely due to the pre-war electricity network that is in our 1930s home (with those porcelain plugs and such). I was honestly surprised that it worked so smoothly at all. Connection is stable, no dropouts yet (I've only been using the adapters for a day).
