D-Link DHP-1565 Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router

D-Link's Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router (DHP-1565) combines PowerLine technology and Wireless N technology into one device to give you true, whole home coverage. With increased speeds and embedded security, this router is ideal for ensuring everyone can game, stream, surf or make calls online from every room of your house.

The router uses your home's electrical wiring to expand your network to every corner of your home, at speeds of up to 500 Mbps. Simply plug your DHP-1565 to any wall socket, and the router will extend your network to any PowerLine adapter plugged into any other wall socket in your home, so that you can get a connection wherever you are from your lounge to your shed. And with both PowerLine and Wireless N technologies working together you can say goodbye to any messy cables trailing through your house.

This router is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications like HD media streaming, video calls, and lag-free online gaming even if everyone in the house is online at the same time. In addition, its Quality of Service (QoS) Engine prioritizes Internet traffic, ensuring that multimedia applications do not experience any glitches while surfing the web or downloading large files.

This router can be used in either Router or Access Point mode at the flick of a switch on the back of the device. In Router mode, it connects to your cable or DSL modem to share your Internet connection via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or through your electrical wiring. In Access Point mode the Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router acts as a Wireless N PowerLine Adapter that can extend your home network via another PowerLine adapter connected to your existing router. In this mode, you can connect up to 4 wired-only devices simultaneously to your home network wherever you are in your home, allowing you to extend your network further than ever before.

Based on the industry-leading PowerLine Alliance technology, the DHP-1565 is compatible with devices based on the IEEE 1901 standard, such as the PowerLine AV 500 Network Adapter and Starter Kit (DHP-500AV/-501AV) and the PowerLine Passthrough AV 500 Network Adapter and Starter Kit (DHP-P500AV/-P501AV). It is also compatible with devices implementing the former PowerLine AV standard, such as D-Link's PowerLine AV Network Adapter and Starter Kit (DHP-306AV/-307AV), PowerLine AV Passthrough Network Adapter and Starter Kit (DHP-P306AV/-P307AV), and PowerLine AV Wireless N Extender and Starter Kit (DHP-W306AV/-W307AV).

The DHP-1565 is part of D-Link Green, D-Link's program for providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance. This router is also ready for the future of the Internet with support for the upcoming move from IPv4 to IPv6.
