3.1 This Is FRITZ!Powerline 546E
FRITZ!Powerline 546E is a powerline adapter with wireless
LAN and a smart plug.
FRITZ!Powerline connects network devices like PCs, note-
books, tablets and smart TV with your FRITZ!Box or another
Internet router. The devices receive access to the home net-
work and the Internet.
FRITZ!Powerline uses the power lines for data transmission to
the FRITZ!Box.
Network devices can be connected with FRITZ!Powerline wire-
lessly or using a LAN cable.
You can integrate FRITZ!Powerline into an existing powerline
network or combine it with a second Powerline adapter to cre-
ate a new powerline network.
The integrated socket switches electrical devices on and off
automatically according to your settings, can be controlled re-
motely on a computer, tablet, smartphone or FRITZ!Fon, and
measures the energy consumption of connected devices.
3.2 Powerline: Data Transmission over the Electrical Wiring
FRITZ!Powerline uses electrical wiring for data transmission.
This allows for transmission over greater distances and
through multiple walls and ceilings.
To ensure safe data transmission in the FRITZ!Powerline net-
work, encryption and a unique network password are enabled
in FRITZ!Powerline upon delivery; see also page 41.
