1 Preface
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
device and store the manual and/or installation
guide for later reference.
After a brief introduction to dLAN® and WiFi basics
and an introduction to the dLAN 550 WiFi in Chap-
ter 2, Chapter 3 tells you how to successfully start
using the adapter in your network. Chapter 4 des-
cribes in detail the setting options of the built-in
configuration interface and thus also access to the
WiFi. Tips for bandwidth optimisation, information
about product safety and environmental compati-
bility of the device, as well as our warranty terms,
can be found in Chapter 5 at the end of the ma-
nual.
