Extend network via electrical wiring

The D-Link DHP-701AV starter kit uses HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology to deliver up to 2000 Mbps powerline speeds over existing electrical circuits. Two DHP-700AV adapters and two Ethernet cables are included for immediate plug-and-play deployment. Gigabit Ethernet ports provide wired 10/100/1000M connections at each outlet. Backward compatibility with HomePlug AV1.1 preserves older powerline devices on the same network.

Fits a build with free wall outlets

Each adapter requires a spare mains socket operating on 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz; power strips or surge protectors can reduce throughput. The compact 1.34 x 3.89 x 2.86 inch form factor leaves adjacent sockets accessible. One-touch push-button security pairs the units without software, freeing the user from router configuration. LEDs for Power, PowerLine and LAN give instant link-status visibility.

Handles multi-room streaming and gaming

The AV2 2000 MIMO link comfortably serves 4K video, large file transfers and low-latency gaming across rooms on the same electrical phase. Throughput drops when adapters span different circuit breakers or encounter heavy line noise from appliances. Operating temperature range of 32 to 104 °F and 10 to 90 % non-condensing humidity suit typical indoor environments. Storage tolerance extends from -4 to 149 °F for seasonal conditions.

Questions about this item

What throughput limit appears first when the DHP-701AV adapters run at full load for hours?

The Gigabit Ethernet ports cap sustained traffic at 1000 Mbps even though the powerline link is rated for up to 2000 Mbps.

How much heat do the DHP-701AV units produce when they stay powered all day?

They are rated for continuous operation between 32 and 104 °F with 10 % to 90 % non-condensing humidity.

Which wired devices can I connect directly to the DHP-701AV kit without extra hardware?

Any device with an RJ45 port that negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps — PCs, consoles, smart TVs, NAS units — plugs straight into the two included Ethernet cables.
