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.
 Insert powerline devices directly into wall outlets.
 If you have to 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 with surge protection, then the surge
protection should be located behind the powerline device.
 The data rate in a powerline network drops during a connection using multiple
phases if there are junction boxes along the path between your powerline devices,
if the connection has to pass through a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI),
dimmer or electronic control gear (ECG), or if 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 (see page 14).
