Given the fact that powerline networking opens up a whole new world of possibilities for many users from all over the world, D-Link has decided to come up with a very interesting offering in this particular field and introduced the Wireless-N PowerLine Router (DHP-1320).

Without a doubt, the DHP-1320 is one of the most interesting and useful products D-Link has come up with lately, given the fact that what we're talking about here is a IPv6-ready network solution that manages to combine PowerLine 200 Mbps technology with a Wireless-N wireless networking and Ethernet ports, all crammed-up in a single device.

The DHP-1320 is actually extremely easy to install and operate, since all the users will ever have to do is simply plug it in a mains socket, the router then automatically creating both a wireless network and a powerline-based one (when additional adapters are used throughout the house, of course).

The router comes packed with 3-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports and also offers some of the features we've come to expect from modern wireless routers, such as Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), a built-in QoS Engine, as well as Wireless Encryption via WPA or WPA2 technologies.

Moreover, the device also sports a PowerLine Sync Connection (ENY) Button, which simplifies powerline networking setup operations (which, in fact, are not really that complex, especially since D-Link's also shipping extra accessories to work with the DHP-1320, for a complete and comprehensive solution).

Additionally, in order to offer a good level of security for powerline networking as well, the device also sports 128-bit AES Encryption via the power wires.

The DHP-1320 Hybrid Wireless-N PowerLine Router is already available for purchase across the US, and despite of the very impressive level of versatility it provides, it's not even that expensive, selling for somewhere in the vicinity of 129.99 US dollars.
