We will proceed with the review of the Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 5400 and 3000 by connecting them to our electrical network and using the Android app for configuration. The process is very simple and in just 5 minutes we will have them ready to use, even for those with little technical knowledge.

The two repeaters connect to the router at a speed of 1,201 Mbps. The Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 5400 can support the simultaneous connection of 4 devices thanks to its 4×4 MIMO technology in the 5 GHz band. While the Repeater 3000 supports 3 devices.

Conclusion about the Devolo WiFi 6 5400 and 3000 repeaters

The Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 5400 is a device that offers great Wi-Fi coverage and the power needed to connect several devices simultaneously with access to high speeds. It is ideal for large homes with multiple users accessing multimedia content and for small businesses with many workers connected to the Wi-Fi network. However, the Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 3000 is not far behind, as it is very similar to its older brother and its compact size makes it attractive if we have a well-located outlet.

The Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 5400 can be purchased for around $150 USD and the Devolo WiFi 6 Repeater 3000 for around $120 USD. These prices are somewhat high for high-performance devices, but within expectations to offer Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. In many cases, Wi-Fi 5 can be sufficient without reaching these prices.
