For me, it only works with a direct LAN connection. So I pulled a line from the router next to the basement and connected it to a Netgear distributor.

Yes, this should be possible in principle. The range is specified as up to 500 metres, although the actual performance depends on factors such as the quality of the power lines and sources of interference.
We recommend a stable connection over 180 metres:
- Direct feed in the fuse box via the Magic 2 LAN DINrail to feed the signal optimally into the power grid
- G.hn standard with MIMO technology for better signal stability over long distances
- Automatic phase coupling between power circuits
Important: Installation in the distribution box must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Older power lines or strong sources of interference (e.g. from machines) can reduce the speed.

The "Magic 2 LAN DINrail" product from Devolo can work for your application. It enables the integration of Internet in the distribution box by connecting it directly to the power distribution box and thus increasing the powerline network speed. It is not the entry point of the internet, but can serve as an intermediate point to provide internet in the distribution box. Note, however, that the installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Since your router on the 2nd floor is connected via a Magic 2 dongle, the Magic 2 LAN DINrail in the distribution box can serve as part of the Powerline network to provide Internet without being the primary entry point.

No, you can connect multiple devices. You have three LAN ports, so you can connect one device each without a hub or switch. You can also use several adapters.

We apologise for the probably incorrect product data. This is an extension; only an adapter (end-user device) is included in the scope of delivery.

It is just the extension and with Schuko plug.

This device is only to strenghten the signal in order to use every power outlet ( in the same circuit) as a potential network plug (combined with powerline) and to get higher bandwith within the circuit. This product has no router function. if you connect from a devolo powerline to this device you already lose a lot of bandwith and it loses its purpose.

I have a similar situation with a fuse box where all the lines come together, I have also placed the firewall/switch there and simply removed the cabinet door for heat dissipation and camouflaged it with a pretty picture. I would advise you not to run the main supply line or WAN connection of the firewall through a PLC, even if the Devolo PLC is good, it is never good enough for the WAN connection. Alternatively, you probably have a coax or fibre connection from the building elsewhere, you can place the modem and firewall there, then via Ethernet into the fuse box and from there via switch into the other rooms.

My setup is the same (only instead of three PCs, I connected one media streamer and one PC, and left one port empty). I can't tell you what exactly is causing your problem, but I can at least tell you that I also have the problem that the PC doesn't get a network every now and then. I can run "ipconfig /renew" and the like as often as I like, or unplug and plug in the LAN cable: the Devolo just doesn't seem to recognise that a client would like to have a network now... (or else it has completely crashed). I then disconnect and reconnect the Devolo "transmitter" (i.e. the one connected to the router), and then it usually works again (after a short setup time). This is a bit annoying, especially if you have all the other 230V consumers plugged into the Devolo socket: of course they are all briefly de-energised during such a reset action, which is not always desirable... In the meantime (contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation) I have plugged in the Devolos via a multiple plug and left the 230V socket on the Devolo unused: this way I can at least do a Devolo reset without other devices losing power... (Presumably the data throughput suffers due to the multiple plug, but this is not noticeable in my use).
According to the user manual, the installation should be performed by an electrician.
No, not with this set, but there is a plug that has both PowerLine and can be used as a WLAN hotspot. I have it in use and it works perfectly

I only bridge 2 floors, it works without any problems.
Well, the distance as the crow flies is not important for this device.
But in your case it is probably normal for Powerline. With powerline, every power strip/fuse etc. generates a loss. I also suspect that you have two different fuse groups over the floors, i.e. the signal goes from the router to the mains, over there it goes to the fuse box in the basement and from there to the second device.
The longer the line and the more "interruptions" (fuses, power strips, sockets) you have on the line, the worse the signal will be.
For testing purposes, you can also connect the starting point to different places in the house, provided you have a mobile device with Ethernet.
Personally, I've also had Powerline, but it never really convinced me.
If you have the option, I would install a LAN cable or a good mesh WLAN...
It has a video and a downloadable brochure describing the function.
Simply put, it turns the power line into a network cable. So you could use the internet in another room where there is no router. But you need at least one router (internet connection) that is connected to such a device. Then another one in another room where you otherwise have no internet.
This device is the wired version without WiFi. However, there are also devices with wireless transmission that can be used to "boost" the WiFi signal in other rooms.
Is that expressed in an understandable way?

Hello,
For the Magic Din Rail, at least one Magic 1 or Magic 2 adapter is required for the respective network-connected devices. Older "Devolo Dlan" adapters are not compatible with the Magic set. Unfortunately, I didn't know this at first and had to read the specifications in more detail after buying the Magic series.
I have been using the Magic2 Dinrail successfully for about half a year.
It has to be installed in the distribution box or in an equivalent place! Therefore, you need the appropriate expertise. To avoid accidents and to follow the regulations otherwise definitely hire the electrician.... Just that it is mentioned at this point.

No, there are 3 LAN connections on one adapter and one LAN connection on the other.
The power connection for both is the normal Swiss power plug.
You can, but every connection between the Magic 2 and the power line can reduce the signal quality. Certainly use a good quality, and short, extension cable. But the best solution is to plug a power strip into the outlet on the Magic 2, and then plug other devices into the power strip. The Magic 2's AC outlet is rated at 16A, the same as your wall socket.
Of course, but with limited bandwidth (80 mbit's in my case)
Yes, it's quite possible if it's the same series :-)

I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I currently have the Devolo 650+, but I just noticed that my pc network card is limited to 100 Mbit/s, so I'll start by changing the pc card.

Yes, the devices in the kits are the same as those sold individually. Just packaged and sold differently. Tip: Plug them all together and reset them so they all have the same key. Possible problem: Since the devices transmit data over the power line, they would have to be plugged into the same power line. Often in houses and flats, different phases of the 3-wire power supply are routed to different parts of the building or rooms. If all sockets that are to be used for data transmission can be shaded via the same fuse everything is fine. If there are different fuses, there could be problems with the data transmission. This must then be tried out on a case-by-case basis.
