Please note that your computer or other device must feature a network adapter 
with a network port.

Please note that dLAN devices such as the devolo dLAN duo (

14 Mbps

) and 

devolo dLAN HS Ethernet (

85 Mbps

) can be used on the same household elec-

trical wiring as dLAN 200 AV devices (

200 Mbps

) without interference, but they 

will not be able to communicate directly with one another. Hence, to set up a 
dLAN 200 AV network, you need two dLAN 200 AV devices (

200 Mbps

). More 

valuable information about dLAN 

or
