USING THE FRITZ!POWERLINE 546E

Once you plug both adapters into your wall electrical sockets i suggest running the FRITZ!Powerline software (available on the official AVM support page) to check if the adapters are detected and functioning properly.

After that you should head into the web configuration page to configure the adapter (you will be asked to enter a new password first).

The overview screen gives you a topology drawing, the current state of the powerline adapter (energy consumption), IP and the current state of several features like WLAN.

From the access to home network (new tab introduced in FRITZ!OS v6.30) you can see how the powerline adapter is connected and how you can use it.

Through the powerline tab you can enable/disable the adapter, pair it with other adapters and reset the configuration to factory settings.

Every powerline in range is displayed in the network-devices tab (you can also choose between automatic and assigned IP address for the adapter from within the network settings tab).

The WLAN tab keeps track of all the devices ever connected to the adapter and also allows you to enable/disable Wi-Fi, choose a name for the adapter and even setup a schedule (useful if you want Wi-Fi connectivity only on at certain days and/or hours).

If you enable the SMART home feature you will be able to measure the electricity used by the adapter and the devices connected to its electrical socket and also turn them off/on.

Everything else is placed under the system tab and so through here you can check logs, energy consumption and can setup the adapter name, adjust the WPS function, lock down the buttons, enable/disable the device LEDs, set/change the password, backup the device configuration, update the adapter firmware and finally choose your region and language.
