Use your home’s electrical wiring as a high-speed network The Wireless N Power Line Gigabit Router uses your home’s electrical wiring to expand your network to every corner of your home, at speeds of up to 500 Mbps. Simply plug your DHP-1565 into any wall socket, & it will extend your network to any Power Line adapter plugged into any other wall socket in your home. This means that you can extend your network to places where it is not possible to stretch new cables (such as your garage or shed) or where the wireless signal is not strong enough. Wireless N & Power Line technologies complement each other to create a whole home solution so you can say goodbye to messy wires! Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications The Wireless N Power Line Gigabit Router is capable of delivering wired data transfer rates of up to 500 Mbps. This makes it absolutely ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, guaranteeing smooth HD video streaming, Vo IP calls, & lag-free online gaming experiences. Advanced technology built into this router makes it more resistant to electrical interference from other household appliances, so users can fully benefit from maximum transmission speeds. In addition, its Quality of Service (Qo S) Engine prioritises Internet traffic, ensuring that multimedia applications do not experience glitches while web surfing & downloads are in progress. The DHP-1565 provides ample network bandwidth, enabling Digital Home consumers to tap into existing electrical wiring for high-quality multimedia streaming. Functions as a Router or Access Point The DHP-1565 can be used in either Router or Access Point mode at the flick of a switch on the back of the device. In Router mode, it connects to your cable or DSL modem to share your Internet connection via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or through your electrical wiring, so you only need one additional Power Line adapter to create a connection. In Access Point mode the DHP-1565 acts as a Wireless N Power Line Adapter to extend your home network via another Power Line adapter connected to your existing router. In this mode, you can connect up to 4 wired-only devices simultaneously to your home network wherever you are in your home, allowing you to extend your network further than ever before. Compatibility Based on the industry-leading Power Line Alliance technology, the Wireless N Power Line Gigabit Router is compatible with devices based on the IEEE 1901 standard, such as the Power Line AV 500 Network Adapter & Starter Kit (DHP-500AV/-501AV), & the Power Line Passthrough AV 500 Network Adapter & Starter Kit (DHP-P500AV/-P501AV). It is also compatible with devices implementing the former Power Line AV standard, such as D-Link’s Power Line AV Network Adapter & Starter Kit (DHP-306AV/-307AV), Power Line AV Passthrough Network Adapter & Starter Kit (DHP-P306AV/-P307AV), & Power Line AV Wireless N Extender & Starter Kit (DHP-W306AV/-W307AV). IPv 6 ready This router is ready for the future of the Internet with support for the upcoming move from IPv 4 to IPv 6. It carries the IPv 6 Ready Gold Logo, meaning that it not only supports the IPv 6 protocol, but is also compatible with IPv 6 equipment from other manufacturers. The DHP-1565 can handle routing for both IPv 4 & IPv 6 networks at the same time, so you can be assured that your router is forward & backward compatible. Save Energy with D-Link Green The Wireless N Power Line Gigabit Router is part of D-Link Green, D-Link’s programme for providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance. The DHP-1565 supports features such as a WLAN Scheduler, Power Line st&-by, & Green Ethernet. The WLAN Scheduler means that you can set specific times when the wireless network will be powered off to save energy & enhance security. Power Line st&-by shuts down the Power Line connection when activity is not detected. Green Ethernet provides additional savings by putting the Ethernet ports in sleep mode & by automatically detecting the length of the Ethernet cables connected to its ports, to supply only the right amount of power.
