Type and number of FRITZ!Powerline devices in a powerline network

FRITZ!Powerline devices are compatible with each other and support all common powerline standards. The maximum number of FRITZ!Powerline devices in a powerline network depends on which devices classes are being used together in a powerline network.

Compatible powerline standards

  • HomePlug AV2 (powerline devices with 1200 Mbit/s)
  • HomePlug AV / IEEE P1901 (powerline devices with 500 Mbit/s)
  • HomePlug (powerline devices with 200 Mbit/s)

Maximum number of powerline devices

  • 64 FRITZ!Powerline devices if only powerline devices with 1200 Mbit/s are being used (for example FRITZ!Powerline 1220E).
  • 16 FRITZ!Powerline devices if powerline devices with 1200, 500, and 200 Mbit/s are being used together (for example FRITZ!Powerline 500E).
  • 12 FRITZ!Powerline devices if FRITZ!Powerline 546E, 540E, 530E or 510E are being used.
