Optimizing the Data Rate
A powerline network is infl uenced by many factors. With the following steps you can
contribute to an optimal data rate in your powerline network:
Insert powerline devices directly into wall outlets and avoid using multi-outlet strips.
If you can‘t avoid using multi-outlet strips:
– Use a multi-outlet strip without surge protection.
– Connect as few devices as possible to the multi-outlet strip.
– Insert your powerline device in the fi rst socket, directly at the cable.
If you cannot avoid using a multi-outlet strip with surge protection, then the surge
protection should be located behind the powerline device.
The data rate in a powerline network drops for:
– a connection over multiple phases
– a connection that has to pass through a junction box, a circuit breaker, a dimmer
or ballast units
– use of a power drill or a vacuum cleaner
Attempt to minimize these infl uences.
The quality of your powerline network can also be optimized using the AVM
FRITZ!Powerline software, which you can download from
en.avm.de/powerline.
