Meet the dLAN 200 AVeasy

The dLAN 200 AVeasy transmits bandwidth intensive data easily and securely over the existing electrical wiring - without installation effort. In addition, the "Quality of Service" function prioritizes the bandwidth requirement of the data traffic, these devices have an advertised speed of 200 Mbps.

So the dLAN functions can deliver speeds of up to 200Mb/s via Ethernet. This is where the AV extension comes into play, as the system supports plugging in to a VoIP phone or a set-top box for HDTV-quality viewing. As the system is based on HomePlug AV 2.0, the bandwidth is greater than that of earlier released HomePlug 1.0 devices (~80 Mbit/sec).

Easy as 1-2-3 is continuously what pops into my mind... you just plug the dLAN 200 AVeasy adapter into an electrical outlet to turn your power grid into a data network. All you need is two adapters (two at minimum). If ever you decide to use a room for a different purpose or rearrange your office no problem. Your network moves with you without the need for laying new cables. Just plug the adapters into different electrical outlets. That really is all, and this is the sheer power of kits like these... the ease of use.

Data securityA special feature of the dLAN 200 AVeasy adapter: a touch of a button is all it takes to activate 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption for maximum security. No additional software is required.

On the CD, there's software for Mac, PC and Linux. The Read Me advises of a firmware patch (all adapters must have the same firmware). Most important here is the dLAN Setup Assistant. This software identifies devices on the powerline network with the MAC address being identified and the unit added by default to the list of secure devices.
