Optimizing the Data Rate
A powerline network is infl uenced by many factors. With the following steps you can
contribute to an optimal data rate in your powerline network:
 Avoid using multi-outlet strips and insert powerline devices directly into wall
outlets.
 If you have to use multi-outlet strips, then
– use multi-strip outlets without surge protection
– connect as few devices as possible to the multi-outlet strip
– insert your powerline device in the fi rst socket, directly at the cable
 If you cannot avoid using multi-outlet strips without surge protection, then
– the surge protection should be located behind the powerline device
 The data rate in a powerline network drops
– for connections over multiple phases
– when junction boxes are located on the path between your powerline devices
– when the connection has to pass through a circuit breaker, dimmer or electri-
cal ballast
– whenever power drills or vacuum cleaners are used
Attempt to minimize these infl uences.
 The quality of your powerline network can also be managed and optimized using
the AVM FRITZ!Powerline software.
