Connecting Powerline Adapters from Other Manufacturers
In a FRITZ!Powerline network you can also integrate powerline
adapters from other manufacturers. The prerequisite for this
is that they are powerline devices of the 500 and 200-Mbit/s
category.
1.
Plug the powerline adapter from the other manufacturer
into any outlet in your home.
2.
Press the “Security” button on a FRITZ!Powerline already
integrated in the network for one second in order to start
transmission of the network password to the powerline
adapter from the other manufacturer.
3.
Within 2 minutes, press the “Security” button on the
powerline adapter from the other manufacturer to apply
the new network password.
The powerline adapter now connects with the FRITZ!Powerline
network. Generally an LED indicates when this process has
been completed.

Connecting Multiple Network Devices
You can also operate multiple network devices on FRITZ!Pow-
erline if you connect a standard switch or hub to the network
port on FRITZ!Powerline. All of the network devices connected
to the switch or hub can then exchange data with all other de-
vices in the local network.
Always establish a secure powerline connection. This
keeps you from inadvertently integrating device in a
neighboring powerline network.
For detailed instructions, see the documentation of the
powerline adapter or contact the manufacturer.
