Introduction

TOTAL PERFORMANCE

Combines PowerLine features and IEEE 802.11n/g wireless technology to provide the best wire and wireless performance.

TOTAL SECURITY

The most complete set of security features including Active Firewall and WPA/WPA2 to protect your network against outside intruders.

TOTAL COVERAGE

Provides greater wireless signal rates and powerline in areas where a wired connection would be beneficial like had-to-reach areas in your home

for best-in-class Whole Home Coverage.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE

The D-Link Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router (DHP-1565) is a 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 14x faster

than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 1000Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos,

files, music, video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the DHP-1565 router to a cable or DSL modem and share your

high-speed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this Router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that keeps digital

phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience. PowerLine uses a building’s existing electrical

wiring to turn any power outlet into a fully functioning Ethernet port and transform your entire home into a wall-to-wall network, instantly. Now

you can take that same revolutionary PowerLine technology and give up to 4 of your favorite connected devices their own Gigabit Ethernet port

with 500Mbps speed, and QoS prioritization experience seamless digital entertainment and performance anywhere in your home.

TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY

The Wireless N PowerLine Gigabit Router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access, be it from over the

wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA/WPA2 standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method,

regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,

including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely

affect wire and wireless signal range.
