Optimizing the Data Rate
A powerline network is influenced 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:
ˊ Use a multi-outlet strip without surge protection.
ˊ Connect as few devices as possible to the multi-outlet strip.
ˊ Insert your powerline device in the first 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 in the case of:
ˊ a connection over multiple phases
ˊ a connection that has to pass through a junction box, a circuit breaker, a
dimmer or ballast units
ˊ use of a power drill or a vacuum cleaner
Attempt to minimize these influences and optimize the quality of your power-
line network using the AVM FRITZ!Powerline software, which you can down-
load from en.avm.de/powerline.
