Assigning unique names to FRITZ!Powerline adapters

You can assign unique names to your FRITZ!Powerline devices, for example "livingroom". This way you can keep track of your FRITZ!Powerline devices and access individual ones even if you are using several FRITZ!Powerline devices.

If you are using your FRITZ!Powerline devices with a FRITZ!Box, you can also change the name with the FRITZ!Box's user interface. If you are using a router from another manufacturer, use the user interface of the FRITZ!Powerline devices to change the name.

  2. Click "Mesh" in the "Home Network" menu.
  3. Click the (Edit) button for the device you want to rename or click "Details".
  4. Enter a unique name of your choice in the "Name" field. The name may not consist of only numbers.
  5. Click "Apply" or "OK" to save the settings.
