Connecting FRITZ!Powerline with a powerline network

FRITZ!Powerline adapters are already protected by a unique network key in the factory settings. To connect them, they need to have the same password:

If you want to use two FRITZ!Powerline adapters from a set, no further steps are necessary. Both FRITZ!Powerline adapters already use the same password and can therefore form a small powerline network right away.

If you want to connect individual FRITZ!Powerline adapters with each other or add them to an already existing FRITZ!Powerline network, set up the connection quickly and securely at the push of a button.

Connecting FRITZ!Powerline adapters with each other by button

  1. Insert the new FRITZ!Powerline adapter that you want to add to the powerline network into a power outlet near a FRITZ!Powerline adapter that is already part of the powerline network.
  2. Wait until the FRITZ!Powerline adapter is ready for operation and the "Power" LED or "WLAN" LED remains lit.
  3. Briefly push the connection button on both of the FRITZ!Powerline adapters. It does not matter which of the connection buttons you push first. The "Powerline" LED flashes when you let go. Depending on the FRITZ!Powerline model, various other LEDs flash simultaneously.
