devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 3000 – Hardware Review
We’ve tried our fair share of devolo products over the years, and in all honesty, we’re still using quite a few of them on a daily basis. We have discussed single repeater solutions by the manufacturer, as well as complete multiroom kits, and up to this day, we have yet to find another company that consistently keeps developing great solutions for those needing to boost their WiFi signals. This time, we are taking a closer look at the WiFi 6 Repeater 3000, which is a powerhouse in a tiny package.
As always, installing the device is extremely easy. You’ll just have to press the WPS button on your router, and you should be good to go. The repeater will also show the quality of the signal, and after that, it’s all smooth sailing. If something should not go according to plan, you can always use the dedicated app to install the repeater, but so far, we have not had to do this for a single devolo product. Keep in mind, this repeater does not come with a built-in power outlet like certain other devices. It’s also best not to plug a repeater into a power strip, as this may have a negative effect on the overall performance.
The WiFi 6 Repeater 3000 is a fairly powerful device for a home (office) environment. You can also plug in one device via the Gigabit LAN port, and with WiFi 6 you’re very much up to date. This means that you’re getting a very versatile repeater that is quite future-proof. It’s often best to look into devices such as this, rather than older repeaters that might cost a bit less. Older devices often struggle when there are a lot of devices on a single network, and they might not be completely up to date anymore. This repeater also offers Mesh capabilities.
You must probably already hate us for mentioning this in almost all reviews for repeaters and other internet solutions, but we do wish to say this once more: buying a good repeater will not boost the quality of your internet subscription. If you have a low data subscription, you will not get the most out of premium-quality repeaters or other kits. Don’t expect miracles when buying this device when you’re on a slow internet subscription.
Conclusion
The WiFi 6 Repeater 3000 is a small powerhouse that offers a very up-to-date experience with a variety of capabilities. This is a repeater that works perfectly for every type of home or home office environment, and we very much saw an increase in signal strength thanks to this very small device. Even though it comes at a premium price, it’s a future-proof investment. If you need several repeaters to cover a bigger area, we recommend looking into the Magic 2 WiFi 6 Mesh Multiroom Kit.
