1.2 What does the dLAN duo offer you?
Powerful and flexible
Ethernet or USB? This question no longer arises with the dLAN duo. Featuring
both Ethernet and USB ports, the dLAN duo combines the features of dLAN Eth-
ernet and dLAN USB devices. The result is new freedom and flexibility: it's no
longer necessary to settle on one or the other connection technology. For exam-
ple, PCs or laptops can be integrated into a dLAN network using either of the
ports—depending on which one is available.
You can find examples of possible networks and general information in the
chapter 'All about the home network'.
