Changing the Network Password

Changing the Network Password by Button
Plug all FRITZ!Powerline adapters in any outlet in your home.
For this operation it makes sense to plug all adapters that are
supposed to receive the new network password next to each
other in a multi-outlet strip.
1.
Plug the first two adapters into the sockets, and press
the “Security” button on both adapters for 12 seconds,
until all LEDs briefly turn off.
Now the FRITZ!Powerline restart and each one automati-
cally assigns itself a randomly chosen network pass-
word.
2.
Press the “Security” button on one of the two adapters
for a second in order to start transmission of the new
network password.
The “Power” LED begins flashing.
3.
Within 2 minutes, press the “Security” button on the
other adapter so that it can receive the new network
password.
Now the powerline connection is established with the
new network password. The process is concluded as
soon as the “Powerline” LEDs on both adapters stop
flashing.
4.
Proceed as follows for every additional adapter that is to
receive the new network password:
Plug the adapter into a socket and press briefly the “Se-
curity” button on the adapter. Within 2 minutes, press
the “Security” button on an adapter that already has the
new network password.
