devolo at IFA 2026: The home network is complete

At IFA 2026, taking place September 4–8 in Berlin, devolo is expanding its mesh Wi-Fi portfolio with two new systems and adding a repeater, a 5G router, and a Gigabit switch. According to the company, the technology is designed to ensure high-performance Wi-Fi reaches every home, every floor, and even RVs. According to the press release, four of the five products are not yet available in stores, but the WiFi 7 Mesh BE9300 can already be purchased as a standalone device.

devolo WiFi 7 Mesh BE9300 Tri-Band: the new flagship

The BE9300 is the most compact all-rounder in the new lineup. Depending on your needs, it can function as a standalone fiber-optic Ethernet router, as an access point, or—when used in a set of two or three—as a complete Wi-Fi 7 mesh system. Across the three frequency bands—2.4, 5, and 6 GHz—the device achieves a cumulative data rate of up to 9,300 Mbit/s. This is made possible by the latest Wi-Fi 7 technologies, such as Multi-Link Operation—which allows two bands to be used simultaneously—as well as 4096-QAM and WPA3 encryption.

For wired connections, there are three Gigabit LAN ports and one 2.5-Gigabit port—a potential bottleneck for users with very fast fiber-optic connections, since only one port exceeds Gigabit speeds.

Specifications Value
Max. Data Rate up to 9,300 Mbit/s (tri-band, cumulative)
Wi-Fi Standard Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), 2.4/5/6 GHz
Ports 3× Gigabit LAN, 1× 2.5-Gigabit LAN
Operating modes Router, Access Point, Mesh (2- or 3-pack)
Availability Single unit available in stores, mesh sets by the end of 2026

The single unit is already listed on price comparison sites starting at around 200 euros; a 2-pack costs about 390 euros there, and a 3-pack around 570 euros. devolo has not yet announced a suggested retail price for the mesh sets themselves; this is expected to follow at the official launch in late 2026.

devolo WiFi 6 Mesh AX3000: the more affordable entry-level option

For those who don’t want to invest in WiFi 7 right away, the AX3000 offers a more compact and likely more affordable alternative. This device can also be flexibly used as a router, access point, or in a mesh network and, according to devolo, delivers up to 3,000 Mbit/s. Three Gigabit LAN ports and a separate Gigabit WAN port also ensure stable wired connections, for example to a smart TV or game console.

devolo clearly positions the AX3000 as an entry-level model for households switching to mesh technology for the first time and looking for a system that can be expanded later with additional access points. As with the BE9300, individual units as well as 2- and 3-pack sets will go on sale in late 2026; devolo will announce prices at the time of launch.

devolo WiFi 6 Repeater AX1500: Compact Range Booster

For anyone who doesn’t want to set up a complete mesh system but simply wants to fill an existing dead spot, devolo is introducing the WiFi 6 Repeater AX1500. It promises speeds of up to 1,500 Mbit/s and, according to the manufacturer, can be set up quickly. An integrated Gigabit LAN port also allows devices such as streaming boxes or game consoles to be connected directly via cable, for example in the living room or to the TV. The AX1500 is also set to launch in late 2026; pricing has not yet been announced.

devolo WiFi 6 Router AX3000 5G: High-speed Internet Without a Landline

The AX3000 5G is designed for households without a high-speed cable or fiber-optic connection, as well as for use in RVs or vacation homes. It replaces the previous WiFi 6 Router 3600 5G LTE and offers significantly improved cellular connectivity. Thanks to 5G and multi-carrier aggregation—which bundles multiple frequency bands—the router achieves download speeds of up to 4.67 Gbit/s and upload speeds of up to 1.25 Gbit/s. It then distributes this bandwidth throughout the home via Wi-Fi 6 at speeds of up to 3,000 Mbit/s; two Gigabit LAN ports are available for wired connections.

devolo Gigabit Ethernet Switch 24-Port: Plug-and-Play for Your Home Network

Rounding out the IFA lineup is an unmanaged Gigabit switch with 24 ports, each delivering up to 1,000 Mbit/s. The switch is designed for households and small businesses that want to expand their network with many wired devices without having to deal with IT configuration. Cables and devices are simply connected; the switch automatically detects them and provides each port with the maximum possible speed. No manual setup is required. As previously announced: Sales will begin in late 2026, with the MSRP to be announced at launch.

With its new products for IFA 2026, devolo covers virtually every home network scenario, from entry-level mesh systems and range boosters to mobile 5G connections and network switches for multiple devices. Technically, the BE9300 stands out with its Wi-Fi 7 data rates; however, in practice, the single 2.5-gigabit port somewhat limits the full potential for users with very fast fiber-optic connections. Anyone who’s already waiting for a new mesh system should keep an eye on the official prices at launch, especially for the bundles that don’t yet have a suggested retail price listed.
