Overview

The devolo dLAN 1000 duo+ is an intelligent and secure powerline adapter designed to establish or expand a home network using existing household electrical wiring. This technology, known as dLAN (direct Local Area Network), transforms any electrical socket into a network access point, eliminating the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling. Data is modulated and transmitted over the power lines, with state-of-the-art technology ensuring no interference between the power and data networks. The dLAN 1000 duo+ provides a fast and secure networking solution, encrypting data to prevent interception by third parties.

Function Description

The primary function of the dLAN 1000 duo+ is to transmit internet data over the household electrical wiring. Each adapter acts as a network access point, allowing devices to connect to the network wherever there's an electrical socket. The dLAN 1000 duo+ is equipped with two fast Ethernet connectors, enabling the connection of multiple network devices such as computers and televisions simultaneously using standard network cables.

A key feature is the integrated electrical socket, which allows other network devices to be connected to the mains supply without losing an outlet. This integrated socket also includes a mains filter that eliminates noise from connected devices, significantly improving data transmission quality within the dLAN network.

Security is a core aspect of the dLAN 1000 duo+. The device supports individual encryption of the dLAN network to protect against unauthorized access and ensure the privacy of transmitted data. This encryption can be established either by pressing an encryption button on the device or by manually entering a dLAN password using the devolo Cockpit software.

The device also features a dLAN indicator light (LED) that provides visual feedback on its status. This LED indicates whether the adapter is correctly connected to the mains supply, if a dLAN connection exists, the data transmission rate, and if the encryption process has been successfully carried out. The LED status display can be deactivated using the devolo Cockpit software if desired.

Usage Features

Setting up a dLAN network with the dLAN 1000 duo+ is designed to be straightforward. For a new dLAN network (Starter Kit), users simply connect one dLAN 1000 duo+ to their internet access device (e.g., WiFi router) and plug it into a wall socket. Once the LED flashes red, indicating readiness, the dLAN network can be encrypted. This is achieved by pressing the encryption button on each connected dLAN 1000 duo+ within a two-minute window for approximately one second. This action establishes a shared dLAN password, securing the network.

To expand an existing dLAN network, a new dLAN 1000 duo+ is plugged into a wall socket. Once its LED flashes red, it can be integrated into the existing network. This is done by pressing the encryption button on a device already in the network for about one second, and then, within two minutes, pressing the encryption button on the new dLAN 1000 duo+ for about one second. Alternatively, encryption and network integration can be managed through the devolo Cockpit software by entering the dLAN password.

The devolo Cockpit software is a central tool for managing the dLAN network. It displays all accessible dLAN devices, provides information about them, and allows for individual encryption of the network. For WiFi devices, it guides users to the configuration interface for WiFi network setup. The software also visually represents the network with colored connecting lines indicating transmission quality: green for HD video streaming, orange for SD video streaming and online gaming, and red for simple data transfer and internet access.

The "my devolo App" offers a convenient way to check and configure WiFi, dLAN, and LAN connections via a smartphone or tablet. Users can download the app from their respective app stores and use it to manage their dLAN 1000 duo+ devices at home via WiFi.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to plug the dLAN 1000 duo+ directly into a wall socket, avoiding power strips, as they can impair dLAN signal transmission. If multiple sockets are available, individual sockets are preferred over those that behave like a power strip.

Maintenance Features

devolo devices are designed for minimal maintenance. Users are not required to perform any specific maintenance tasks. In the event of damage, the device should be disconnected from the mains supply, and qualified specialist personnel should be contacted for service. Damage indicators include a damaged power plug, exposure to liquid, inoperability, or damage to the housing.

The dLAN 1000 duo+ includes ventilation slots and openings on the housing, which are crucial for heat dissipation. It is important to ensure that the devices are installed in locations that guarantee adequate ventilation and that these openings are not covered or obstructed by objects. The device should also not be exposed to direct heat radiation or naked flames.

Cleaning the device should only be done with a dry cloth, avoiding cleaning agents containing solvents to prevent damage to the housing.

The devolo Cockpit software provides features for managing the device and network. Users can reset the entire dLAN network to factory defaults, disable future updates for an adapter, and access a troubleshooting guide for bandwidth problems. The software also checks for and installs firmware updates automatically, ensuring the device operates with the latest improvements and security patches.

To remove a dLAN 1000 duo+ from an existing network, the encryption button on the adapter should be pressed and held for at least 10 seconds. This action assigns a new, randomly generated password to the adapter, effectively disconnecting it from the previous network. It can then be integrated into a different network following the standard setup procedures.
