Gadget Review: dLAN 500 AV Plus Starter Kit

Spending in excess of £100 on a pair of plugs may not be top of everyone's list of priorities but in this case exceptions should be made.

This is a very sophisticated high-speed home network that gives you speeds of up to 500 mbs via your household's electrical wiring.

Perfect for use with all kinds of data transfer and home entertainment aside from the clear benefits of using your plug sockets for data transfer it is also very easy to set up.

All you need to do is plug it in to the plug socket and connect the network cable, simple as that.

I find that the device works perfectly for wireless connections generally and in my case I have used it to connect the Xbox 360 wirelessly to the home network.

Anyone who games online will tell you the need for a fast and efficient wireless connection and the use of the dLan technology makes it effortless and very effective.

It is also streams 3D and HD and uses only 0.5 watts in standby mode making it eco-friendly too.

The technology works in old and new houses so wiring of all ages is fine, you can also encrypt the connection for security.

Billed as a 'networking innovation' devolo have once again tweaked their existing quality products to offer the best home networking solution to date.
