FRITZ!Powerline user interface cannot be opened
Since setting up the FRITZ!Powerline adapter, you cannot open its user interface. The user interface is not displayed when you enter fritz.powerline in the address bar of your web browser (for example Chrome, Firefox).
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.
1 Calling up the complete address

Some web browsers start a web search if you enter an unknown or incomplete address, for example Google Chrome using Google. To prevent this, you must enter the complete address http://fritz.powerline.
2 Clearing browsing data (cache)
Clear the cache of the web browser on computers with Windows or macOS:
- Press "CTRL + Shift + Del" on the keyboard at the same time, or press "CMD + Alt + E" for Safari.
- In the new window, click "Clear" or press Enter.
3 Opening the user interface with the FRITZ!Box
If you are using a FRITZ!Powerline adapter with a FRITZ!Box, you can use the FRITZ!Box's user interface to open the user interface of the powerline adapter:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Mesh" or "Home Network Overview" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click the link or the name of the FRITZ!Powerline adapter.
4 Opening the user interface with the the IP address
If you are using the FRITZ!Powerline adapter with a different router, the router must support DHCP name resolution so you can enter fritz.powerline to open the user interface. If the router does not support DHCP name resolution, use the IP address to open the user interface:
- Determine the IP address of the FRITZ!Powerline adapter. To find out how, refer to the router's manual, or consult its manufacturer directly.
- Enter the IP address of the FRITZ!Powerline adapter (for example http://192.168.178.25) in the address bar of your web browser.
If you still cannot open the user interface of the FRITZ!Powerline adapter after following the steps given in this guide, the powerline adapter is not correctly connected with the router (for example FRITZ!Box) and you must reconnect the FRITZ!Powerline adapter with the FRITZ!Box or the other router.
