1.1 Thank you!

The dLAN 500 AVmini from devolo is the home
plug-in device for high requirements: The fast trans-
fer rate of up to 500 Mbps makes every bandwidth-
intensive Internet application a real multimedia
treat. The integrated "Quality of Service" function
measures the bandwidth requirement, optimises the
data flow and ensures excellent quality—particularly
for voice and video data. Whether in the office or at
home—devices such as modem, router, set-top box
or the computer can be connected with the
dLAN 500 AVmini using the available Ethernet inter-
face. On top of that, the range of 300 meters creates
a high degree of flexibility.
