The easy home network via the power line: dLAN 500
duo and dLAN 500 duo+ from devolo are now available
Aachen, Germany, 11 April 2013 – The latest products in the portfolio of the
Aachen-based powerline specialist – dLAN 500 duo and dLAN 500 duo+ – provide
any room in the house with an Internet connection. The compact adapters enable
you to use your home power line as a long network cable and thereby turn any
power outlet into an Internet and network access point. This is so easy to set up
that even newbies can do it in a few minutes. dLAN 500 duo and dLAN 500 duo+
are the latest state of the art of technology, which makes them not only more
energy-efficient for the customer, but also less expensive to purchase.
The topics of this press release:
– Internet from any electrical socket with dLAN 500 duo and dLAN 500 duo+
– Compact adapters – as easy as child's play to install
– Internet in every room of the house
– Cost-effective home network – flexible and secure from the power outlet
– Free configuration software for dLAN users
Compact adapter – as easy as child's play to install
dLAN 500 duo and dLAN 500 duo+ are installed in no time: After the first adapter is
connected to the Internet router, Internet and network access point are available at every
power outlet in the house. Then simply plug in a second adapter where you want and
connect it to a terminal device, such as a computer, laptop, television, Blu-ray player,
game console or Internet radio. The required cables are included in the package contents
and the user does not have to do any other configuring.
Both adapters take up only a little space and can be placed inconspicuously. The smaller
of the two, the dLAN 500 duo, measures only 65 x 81 x 29 mm.
Internet in every room of the house
dLAN 500 duo and dLAN 500 duo+ each come with two Fast Ethernet connections,
thereby enabling multiple terminal devices to be connected in parallel – anywhere a
power outlet is available. Thus, for example, a computer and a network printer, or a
television and a game console, can be connected to the Internet with just one adapter.
Both adapters rely on 500 Mbps chip technology. They are compatible with all Powerline
adapters of the 200 and 500 Mbps classes and guarantee a high network and Internet
speed. Moreover, the dLAN 500 duo+ includes an integrated electrical socket with mains
filter for even higher speeds.
Cost-effective home network – flexible and secure
The new Powerline adapters from devolo use a clearly more cost-effective chip
technology and are available at extremely attractive retail prices. The recommended
retail prices for the dLAN 500 duo are at 44.90 euro (or 79.90 euro for the Starter Kit with
two adapters, or 119.90 euro for the Network Kit with three adapters) and for the dLAN
500 duo+ at 54.90 euro (or 99.90 euro for the Starter Kit with two adapters, or 149.90
euro for the Network Kit with three adapters).
At the touch of a button the network can be protected from unauthorized access using a
128-bit AES password.
Free configuration software for dLAN users
For additional customization and configuration of the dLAN home network, devolo
provides its customers with free software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Ubuntu),
and is the only provider of Powerline adapters to do so. With dLAN Cockpit, devolo
customers have the option of checking the connection speed between the individual
dLAN adapters at any time. Useful and easy-to-implement tips for improving the data rate
as well as digital user manuals are shown to the user right in the software. dLAN Cockpit
also provides a function for automatically updating all devolo components in the home
network. Thus the products always remain up-to-date and receive useful updates for
increasing speed or for compatibility with new operating systems. dLAN Cockpit is
optional software for advanced users; it is not necessary for operating the adapters.
