Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.

1 Connecting the computer directly to the powerline device

The FRITZ!Powerline software cannot display powerline devices that are connected to the FRITZ!Box via a Mesh Repeater or the guest access. The following steps are only necessary if powerline devices behind a Mesh Repeater or in the guest access are not displayed:

  1. Call up download.avm.de/fritzpowerline/tools/fritzpowerline/ in your web browser.
  2. Switch to the folder "de" or "en".
  3. Download the FRITZ!Powerline software for the operating system of your computer.
  4. Install the FRITZ!Powerline software on a computer that is connected to a FRITZ!Powerline device via the FRITZ!Box or a network cable.

3 Installing the latest firmware for the FRITZ!Powerline device

  1. Install the latest firmware on the FRITZ!Powerline device.

4 Configuring the firewall
