devolo dLAN 550 duo+
A dLAN adapter connected to a com-
puter can only go into power saving
mode if the network card of the swit-
ched-off computer is also inactive. If
you are using a network card that re-
mains active even when the compu-
ter is switched off, we recommend
connecting the computer to an on/off
switch using a multiple socket so that
both the computer and the inte-
grated network card are de-energi-
sed.
2.3 dLAN 550 duo+
Your home network from the power socket.
Unpack. Plug it in. Get started. The easy way to
connect using your home's power lines. Turn any
power socket into an Internet access point
The fast transfer rate and dLAN speeds up to
500 Mbps allow you to experience entertainment
at the highest level. The range+ technology
provides an even more stable Internet connection
with significantly longer range.
The "Quality of Service" function and transfer
rates of up to 500 Mbps are enough for band-
width-hungry applications. Automatic data prior-
itisation ensures interference-free reproduction of
voice and video data.
The integrated electrical socket enables additional
terminal devices or multiple sockets to be con-
nected to the adapter just as a normal wall
socket—no power supply is lost.
The two Fast Ethernet LAN ports allow you to con-
nect two Internet-compatible devices (e.g. a game
console, television or media receiver) to the Inter-
net at any time via network cable.
Easy data encryption at the touch of a button or
via devolo Cockpit.

vative PowerSave technology
