downloads.
Fast roaming (IEEE 802.11r) streamlines the
b
registration process for Wi-Fi end devices, such
as smartphones and tablets, when switching to
another Wi-Fi hotspot.
The feature Fast roaming is not compatible
with all Wi-Fi clients. If there are connection
problems with one of your devices, please
deactivate this option.
In the factory default settings of the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next, Fast roaming is
turned off.
In addition, the air-time fairness feature pro-
b
cesses the requests of high-speed Wi-Fi clients
at higher priority. This prevents older devices,
which may require more time for a download,
from causing Wi-Fi bottlenecks.
The access-point steering feature (AP steer-
b
ing) function enhances your Wi-Fi access point
by adding intelligent network optimization.
This function actively helps your end devices
connect to the best network access point. If the
Wi-Fi access point identifies another Wi-Fi
access point within your own network that has

a stronger signal and better reception, it auto-
matically redirects the end device to that point.
In particular, older smartphones, tablets and
similar will remain connected to their Wi-Fi
access point (e.g. router, devolo device) until
the signal gets interrupted. Only then will
they switch to a new Wi-Fi access point with
better reception.
Integrated band steering regulates that all Wi-
b
Fi stations automatically switch to the opti-
mum frequency band (2.4 and 5 GHz fre-
quency band) in order to use the strongest
available Wi-Fi connection.
To turn the mesh functions on, check the Enable
option.
