Integrating FRITZ!Powerline into the Mesh via powerline

Integrate FRITZ!Powerline into the Mesh of your FRITZ!Box via powerline to increase the Wi-Fi range of your home network easily and efficiently. The first FRITZ!Powerline device is connected to a LAN port on the FRITZ!Box (Mesh Master) using a network cable. As a Mesh Repeater, the second FRITZ!Powerline device automatically adopts all of the settings from the Mesh Master, such as Wi-Fi access information and guest access. In the Mesh, your wireless devices automatically connect to the wireless access point with the best Wi-Fi reception.

Changes in the Mesh can then be easily made in the Mesh Master. The Mesh Master automatically transmits the new settings to all of the Mesh Repeaters. If you still want to access the user interface of the Mesh Repeater, use the password from the Mesh Master to log into the Mesh Repeater.

As soon as the FRITZ!Powerline device is integrated into the Mesh, it is marked with the Mesh symbol in the user interface of the Mesh Master:

2 Adding FRITZ!Powerline devices to the Mesh

When it is added to the Mesh, the new powerline device is automatically added to the powerline network. For this, a FRITZ!Powerline device must be connected to the FRITZ!Box via a network cable and the new FRITZ!Powerline device must be set up near the existing FRITZ!Powerline device:

Connecting FRITZ!Powerline devices

  1. For setup, plug both of the FRITZ!Powerline devices into outlets near the Mesh Master.
  2. If you bought a single FRITZ!Powerline device: For setup, connect the first FRITZ!Powerline device you already had to a LAN port on the Mesh Master.
  3. If you bought FRITZ!Powerline as a set: Use a network cable to connect the FRITZ!Powerline device without Wi-Fi support to a LAN port on the Mesh Master.

Adding the second FRITZ!Powerline device to the Mesh by button

You must push a button to add the device to the Mesh. It does not matter whether you push the button on the Mesh Master or the Mesh Repeater first. We recommend the following order:

  1. Briefly push the Connect button (see table) on the second FRITZ!Powerline device that is not connected to the LAN port on the Mesh Master (for about 1 second) and release it again. When you release the button, all of the LEDs on the FRITZ!Powerline device start to flash.
