1
 Power outlets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition and conguration, may aect the performance of this product. Additional 
D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to add new devices to the network. A minimum of two D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to create a network. Connecting this product to a power strip with a 
surge protector may adversely aect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet.

Maximum throughput is based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of trac and network overhead, may lower actual data 
throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical noise, such as vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely aect the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting 
systems that have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/off feature, short wave radios, or other PowerLine devices that do not follow the HomePlug AV standard.
