Features
Fast Data Transmission Over Electrical Wiring
The D-Link DHP-600AV PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter, compliant with the HomePlug AV2 standard, uses your home’s
existing electrical wiring to create a network or extend your existing one.1It supports up to 1000 Mbps data transfer speeds via
its Gigabit Ethernet port and transforms every power outlet into a potential network connection. Simply put, the DHP-600AV
gives you the freedom to access digital media devices, game consoles, print servers, computers, and network storage devices
from anywhere in your home.
Convenient Setup and Secure Operation
The DHP-600AV features Plug and Play technology and plugs directly into a power outlet, removing the need for additional
cables. Extend your home network by connecting multiple devices in the farthest corners of your home via Ethernet cable.
For convenient setup, a secure connection can be quickly set up with the push of a button. The adapter implements 128-bit
AES data encryption to protect the network from unauthorized wiretapping. With hassle-free Plug and Play installation, the
DHP-600AV is an ideal solution for creating a room-to-room home network.
1Power outlets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition and conguration, may aect the performance of this product.
Additional D-Link Powerline AV adapters are required to add new devices to the network. A minimum of two D-Link Powerline AV Network Adapters are required to create a network. Connecting this product to a power
strip with a surge protector may adversely aect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet.

Understanding PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter Security
D-Link uses encryption to secure your data. The DHP-600AVs on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The
default encryption key of each PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter is HomePlugAV. All PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters
using the default encryption key can communicate with each other.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to create a unique private encryption key for your network. The encryption
key allows you to protect your network from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption
key to replace the default encryption key, please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Plug in all Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be congured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlugAV (default value).
If the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the reset button for 10 seconds to reset it to the default value.
Step 2. First Adapter
Press Simple Connect Button of the rst adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each DHP-600AV will use.

Section 2 - Installation
Step 3. Second Adapter
Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect Button on the rst adapter, press the Simple Connect Button on second
adapter in your Powerline network for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the
button.
Step 4. Adding More Adapters (Optional)
If you would like to add more than two adapters, press the Simple Connect Button of the additional adapter for no more than
three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Then press the Simple Connect Button of any adapter in your existing Powerline network for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
After performing the steps above, your Powerline network will be securely congured with the same network encryption
key. The adapters will store the security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the reset button
for ten seconds, then follow the security setup procedure above.

Section 3 - Installation Considerations
Powerline Installation Considerations
Plan the location of your Powerline devices:
1. Connect Powerline devices to electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall
switch to avoid accidentally turning o power to the device.
2. Do not connect the Powerline devices to an extension cord, surge protector, or
power strip as this might prevent it from working correctly, or reduce the network
performance.
3. Avoid using the Powerline devices in an electrical outlet that is located near an
appliance that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a refrigerator. This
may prevent the adapter from working correctly, or negatively impact network performance.
4. Verify that your Powerline devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
5. To help prevent electrical shock, be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets.
6. The Powerline device is designed to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding
prong from the cable.

Section 4 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DHP-600AV. Verify
connectivity by checking the LEDs for solid link lights on the device (Please refer to LEDs on page 8 for more details). Read
the following descriptions if you are having problems.
1. The Power LED is o:
Please make sure that power to the electrical outlet is on, and you have not plugged the DHP-600AV into an
extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
2. I can’t connect to my network via the Powerline device (Powerline LED is o):
Check that all of your Powerline devices are using the same encryption key. To be sure, press the Simple Connect
button on each device for ten seconds to return the adapter to its factory default settings.
3. The network connection is slow (Powerline LED is amber or red):
You can relocate the Powerline devices closer together to improve performance.
4. I can’t get an Ethernet connection working through the DHP-600AV (Ethernet LED is o) :
Check your Ethernet cables and make sure they are plugged in securely; then reset all of the adapters and run
through the setup process again.

Technical Specications
1 Maximum throughput is based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of trac and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical
noise, such as vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely aect the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting systems that have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/o feature, short wave radios, or other Powerline devices that do not
follow the HomePlug AV standard.
2 Power outlets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition and conguration, may aect the performance of this product. Additional D-Link Powerline AV series products are required to add new devices
to the network. A minimum of two D-Link Powerline AV series products are required to create a network. Connecting this product to a power strip with a surge protector may adversely aect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet.
