2.4.1 Firmware update
If you would like to combine a dLAN 200 AVeasy with older devolo dLAN 200
AV devices in a network, please update the firmware of the dLAN 200 AV
devices first. Connect each dLAN 200 AV to the computer and insert the inclu-
ded CD-ROM into your CD drive.
If autoplay is installed on your computer, the installation will start automatically.
Otherwise, open the folder with the Windows Explorer by right-clicking on Start
and selecting Explorer from the context menu. Now, select your CD-ROM drive.
Double-click to start the installation wizard manually.
Select the Firmware update for dLAN 200 AV products item in the Install
dLAN 200 AVeasy main menu to perform the firmware update. When the
update is complete, return the device to its usual location. The firmware updater
application can also be found in the download section of our website at
www.devolo.com.
ቢ Use the included network cable to connect the dLAN 200 AVeasy to the net-
work port of your running computer or other network device.
ባ Plug the dLAN 200 AVeasy into a free electrical outlet.
If possible, do not plug the adapter into a power strip. This may impair the trans-
mission of the dLAN signals. A free wall outlet is preferable.

bed above, your dLAN 200 AVeasy network has been set up. To secure your
