What You Can Do with the PowerLine AV 500 Adapter

Connect to Anything, Anywhere: PowerLine Meets Your Digital Demands.

Run your desktop and multiple laptops off your wireless router upstairs, and simultaneously power and prioritize bandwidth for your entire digital entertainment center in the basement. With a PowerLine 500 AV Adapter you can extend an existing PowerLine network to deliver 500 Mbps speed and connectivity over the existing wiring of your building's electrical system. HDTVs, the Boxee Box by D-Link, Blu-Ray Players, network storage drives, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, security cameras--power them all, all at once, without annoying glitches or lags. With a PowerLine 500 AV Adapter, you not only have the freedom to connect your favorite devices anywhere you need them, but also the 500 Mbps speed and advanced QoS bandwidth optimization to prioritize heavier traffic, and deliver seamless digital entertainment.

Pair any PowerLine AV 500 Adapter with a DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch to deliver seamless connectivity--up to 500 Mbps--anywhere in your home.

Create a Wall-To-Wall Home Network, Instantly.

PowerLine technology transmits data along the wiring of a building's existing electrical system, providing a secure and reliable broadband connection to places impossible to reach with a wireless signal. All you need is to plug the Adapter into any conventional power outlet and that's it--you can extend your existing PowerLine network and get performance connectivity, exactly where you need it. It's an ideal networking solution for homes where concrete walls, successive floors in multi-storied buildings, or other architectural impediments can significantly weaken a wireless coverage and create dead spots.

Need to build a PowerLine network from scratch? Check out the PowerLine AV Adapter Starter Kit. It has everything you need to build a custom PowerLine network from the ground up.

Get Wireless Freedom and Wired Reliability

Because a PowerLine Network is hard-wired, there is no external "ambient" interference common to even the most powerful wireless systems. PowerLine Network Technology is HomePlug AV compliant and works across phases in your building's electrical box to transmit data reliably by intelligently adapting to the strongest signal channels. Data and electricity transmit at very different frequencies, so there's never a problem of electrical interference or shorting with a PowerLine device. PowerLine turns any conventional electrical outlet in your home or office into a fully-functioning Ethernet port and your entire home into a wall-to-wall network, instantly.

Set-up? PowerLine is Plug and Play. And That's It.

Extending your PowerLine network with a PowerLine AV 500 Adapter is a cinch. Just plug it in to any conventional power outlet and D-Link's Simple Connect button will establish a 128-bit security encrypted connection with your existing PowerLine network in a flash. With a PowerLine AV 500 Adapter there are no cables to run, holes to drill or wireless signals to configure--extending your existing PowerLine network is as easy as plug and play.

Create An Ultra-Secure Home Network

The DHP-500AV Adapter protects your network with 128-bit AES data security encryption--the same technology used in E-commerce or online banking. Create your own network name and password or put it at the tip of your fingers with Push Button Security standard on every PowerLine device. With hassle-free plug and play installation, and advanced security the DHP-500 AV Adapter is not only one of the fastest networking solutions available, it's also one of the safest.

Get Ready for the Future: IPV6 Equipped

With the growing number of Internet-enabled applications requiring IP addresses, the supply of IP addresses under the current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) system has already been exhausted. The IPv6 protocol solves this network addressing exhaustion by creating more IP addresses, but migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is not necessarily automatic. No worries--this D-Link product is IPv6 Certified and ready for the future.

PowerLine: Total Home Networking Solutions

D-Link offers a full lineup of PowerLine combination routers, adapters, switches and extenders to build a custom home network capable of handling your digital demands.

Combination router (example--DHP-1320): Great for providing wired and wireless connectivity anywhere in the home. Adapter (example--DHP-500AV): Ideal for connecting a single device like a laptop into your PowerLine network. Switches (example--DHP-540): Perfect for connecting an entertainment system into your PowerLine network. Extenders (example--DHP-W306AV): Plug this into your PowerLine network to provide wireless connectivity into areas that can't be reached with your wireless router, such as your basement or attic.
