FRITZ!Powerline is not marked with Mesh symbol

Although the FRITZ!Powerline adapter is connected to the FRITZ!Box and displayed in the Mesh Overview, the Mesh symbol is missing.

FRITZ!Powerline adapters with Wi-Fi support are marked with the Mesh symbol in the Mesh Overview after have been integrated into the Mesh. FRITZ!Powerline adapters without Wi-Fi support (for example FRITZ!Powerline 1220E) are only marked with the Mesh symbol in the Mesh Overview if a FRITZ!Powerline adapter with Wi-Fi support that is integrated into the Mesh is connected to the FRITZ!Box as a powerline bridge over that FRITZ!Powerline adapter.

1 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Powerline adapter

  2. Click on "Update" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click "Find New FRITZ!OS".
  4. Click the "Start Update" button.

2 Unlocking the buttons

You can only add devices to the Mesh by pushing a button. Therefore, unlock the buttons in the Mesh Master and the FRITZ!Powerline adapter:

Unlocking the Mesh Master's buttons

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.

3 Connecting the FRITZ!Powerline adapter directly with the Mesh Master

The following step is only necessary if the FRITZ!Powerline adapter is connected to the Mesh Master via a device from another manufacturer (for example a switch, powerline adapter):

  1. Connect the FRITZ!Powerline adapter directly to a LAN port on the Mesh Master. Do not use the WAN port. Not every FRITZ!Box model has a WAN port.

4 Adding the FRITZ!Powerline adapter 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 FRITZ!Powerline adapter (for about 1 second) and release it again. When you release the button, all of the LEDs start to flash.
