devolo dLAN 500 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 computer
is switched off, we recommend con-
necting the computer to an on/off
switch using a multiple socket so that
both the computer and the integrated
network card are de-energised.

b The dLAN 500 duo's one-of-a-kind adapter
design offers two network connections directly
to the device—this allows any two devices in a
room, like a computer and a NAS hard drive, or a
Set-Top Box receiver and a game console, to
simultaneously get online quickly and easily.
b The slim dimensions of the adapter allow unob-
trusive and especially flexible positioning in any
room.
b The "Quality of Service" function and transfer
rates of up to 200 Mbps are enough for band-
width-hungry applications.
b Innovative status LEDs show the operating state
directly on the adapter.
b Secure AES encryption is activated very easily
ć at the touch of a button on the adapter or
ć via the devolo software dLAN Cockpit for PC
(Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7),
Mac and Linux
b The patented intelligent Dynamic PowerSave
automatically uses less power in standby mode.
