Question about Devolo Magic 1 WiFi starter kit 2-1-2
Can the adapter with the 2 RJ45 sockets be used in such a way that the Internet supply line is plugged into one socket and the Swisscom router into the other? So does the adapter work like a router, or does an additional router have to be installed for the Swisscom box supply line? But then I wonder what the second RJ45 slot is intended for. Thank you

The Devolo Magic 1 WiFi Starter Kit 2-1-2 (1200 Mbps) cannot function directly as a router. Here is how the adapters are typically used:
- One adapter is connected to the router (in this case, the Swisscom Box) to distribute the Internet connection over the power lines.
- The second RJ45 slot on each adapter is used to connect static devices such as smart TVs, consoles or PCs directly to the internet connection via LAN. This makes it possible to connect these devices by cable and thus ensure a stable and fast connection.
It is therefore necessary to use an additional router (the Swisscom Box) to provide the Internet connection, and the Devolo Magic 1 WiFi adapters are used to distribute this connection via the power lines in the house and to connect additional devices via the RJ45 slots.
