How does DLAN work? Easily explained

When establishing a network, DLAN can bridge connections and thus save cables. You can find out exactly how this technology works in this practical tip.

DLAN - that is behind the technology

DLAN can be used effectively in many networks, for example to save cables. We explain how the technology works.

• With direct LAN, DLAN for short, the Internet signal is transmitted at home via your regular power line.
• You need at least two DLAN adapters so that you can set up a network.
• At the first, connect a LAN cable that leads to the router.
• The other adapter is connected to the PC using a LAN cable. Plug both adapters into a socket.
• However, you should note that you should not use multiple sockets, as the performance can be significantly reduced here.
• When used correctly, however, there are no major fluctuations in Internet speed.
• You can connect two or three LAN cables per adapter.
• Of course, you can use more than two adapters to build your network.
• You can get an adapter set for DLAN from around 40 euros - for example on Amazon.
