1Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this

dLAN 550 WiFi.

The dLAN 550 WiFi allows you to set up your own

home network with almost no effort. Because the

clever dLAN technology transmits the data over the

household electrical wiring, you do not have to lay

any new cables.

1.1 About this manual

Carefully read all instructions before setting up the de-

vice and store the manual and/or installation guide for

later reference.

After a brief introduction to "dLAN" and "Wi-Fi

(WLAN)“ basics and the presentation of the

dLAN 550 WiFi in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will cover

successfully setting up your dLAN 550 WiFi and inte-

grate it in your network. Chapter 4 describes configu-

ration options in detail for the built-in configuration

interface, including access to the Wi-Fi. Tips for band-

width optimization, information of environmental com-

patibility of the device and our warranty conditions can

be found in Chapter 5 and conclude the manual.

devolo device from the mains supply by pulling it or its

plug out of the power outlet. Then contact qualified

specialist personnel (after-sales service) exclusively.

Damage is deemed to have occurred, for example,

쎲if the power plug is damaged

쎲if the devolo device has been showered with

liquid (e.g. rain or water).

쎲if the devolo device is inoperable.

쎲if the housing of the devolo device is damaged.

devolo devices may only be operated using a mains

power supply, as described on the nameplate.

To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply,

pull the device itself or its mains plug from the power

outlet. The power outlet and all connected net-

work devices should be easily accessible so that

you can pull the mains plug quickly if needed.

Only use devolo devices at a dry location.

Preface 7

devolo dLAN 550 WiFi

Disconnect devolo devices from the mains sup-

ply to clean! Avoid solvent cleaning agents since they

can cause damage to the housing. Only use a dry towel

for cleaning.

DANGER due to overheating

Multiple devolo devices must not be interlocked.

devolo devices should only be installed at locations

that guarantee adequate ventilation. Slots and ope-

nings on the housing are used for ventilation:

쎲Do not cover devolo devices when operating.

쎲Do not place any objects on devolo devices.

쎲Do not insert any objects into the openings of

devolo devices.

쎲devolo devices must not be placed directly next

2 Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you

set up a home network easily, quickly and economical-

ly via your household electrical wiring, without the

need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household

power grid to transfer data between computers

equipped with suitable adapters and other network

components. As a result, any power outlet can be used

as a network access point. The data is modulated prior

to transfer and sent as a signal via household power

lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the

power and data networks do not interfere with one an-

other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The

data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by

third parties.

2.2 What is WLAN?

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) refers to the use

of radio technology to network computers and other

devices. While it is possible to wirelessly connect com-

puters in pairs (peer-to-peer, p2p), a central access

point is required to set up a network of multiple devic-

es. Such access points are frequently combined in a

single device with modems for Internet access and

routers to manage network traffic.

The wireless network established by an access point

using a specific channel (from 1 to 13) and name (SSID)

has a limited range. The range of the access point,

which is also known as a "radio cell", is impeded by
