Devolo Duo Manual

HomePlug – a new dimension in networking
Networks have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and
flexibility is more important than ever. But not everyone has the
necessary expertise to deal with network technology, and technical
independence always comes at a cost.
devolo has the solution to this dilemma!
Thanks to HomePlug technology, you can now set up a home net-
work easily and economically. You will not believe how simple it
really is! Just connect your PC to a dLAN®adapter and plug it into a
power outlet to transform your household power grid into a fully
functional network. With dLAN®technology, you can surf the
Internet and access other PCs or printers from any power outlet in
the house. Simply take the adapter with you whenever you switch
to a different PC or another room.
The actual connection to the Internet is realized over your
telephone line as usual, leaving you absolutely free with regard to
the type of connection (ADSL, ISDN or analog) and your choice of
provider and rate.
