CPL + express

can I set up a wireless network with express plug to a CPL plug (devolo). I have a cpl plug link to my free box but I have another room in the garden where the second cpl plug works when I use a ethernet cable. I would like to create a wifi network in the garden room. How should I set up the express base station ? is there a chance to have a wifi network first ?

As I see the CPL is ethernet over power adapter.. these can work fine.


Plug the Express into the CPL ethernet.. set the Express in bridge mode.. and set it to create a wireless network of the same name and security as the other wireless routers in your network (for roaming).


That is standard layout with apple routers.

The instructions were updated recently but unfortunately apple didn't bother using later utility to do it. The way to do it is clear enough though.
