Connecting a powerline device from another manufacturer to a FRITZ!Powerline network

FRITZ!Powerline devices are compatible with the powerline standards HomePlug AV2, HomePlug AV, HomePlug, and IEEE P1901. This means that you can also connect powerline devices from another manufacturer with your FRITZ!Powerline network.

You can set up the connection quickly and securely at the push of a button. The network password of the FRITZ!Powerline network is transmitted to the powerline device from the other manufacturer and an encrypted connection is established.

  1. For setup, plug the powerline device from the other manufacturer into an outlet near a FRITZ!Powerline device that is already in the powerline network.
  2. Push the connect button on the powerline device from the other manufacturer. The procedure depends on the powerline device. Refer to the manufacturer of the device for information on how to set it up, for example consult the manual.
  3. Push the Security button on the FRITZ!Powerline device within 2 minutes.
  4. The process is completed and the powerline devices are connected with each other as soon as the Powerline LED on the FRITZ!Powerline device remains lit.
