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:
• Insert powerline devices directly into
wall outlets.
• Connect multi-outlet strips to the outlet
on your powerline adapter.
• 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 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.
