The adapter was connected to me each directly connected to a computer and using the Powerline software (downloaded from the AVM web site) with an individual password is set. The fundamental connection severed then easily.
An own name is to identify registrable.
In the Fritz box in addition to the other devices all Powerline adapters are displayed, the two 546E are each listed twice. One with and one without an IP address. Each with an entry of the name of the 546E adapter is stored as a link, you can switch directly to the respective configuration page on the.
Basic configuration as expected and in my view also problems.
Why my enthusiasm yet falling by the wayside?
Previously, I had old devolo 85hs adapter in use. The managed once through your house without any problems, data rates of 59 Mbit and 38Mbit permanently. Through a failover now was due.
My excellent experience to date with AVM (with several Fritz boxes, Fritzfonen and DECT 200 with me and in the relatives and friends, with funktionserweiternden updates and also good support (the experience is, however, only two years ago) in hardware defects) I'm looking for the AVM Powerline series decided. These new adapters from the 500 class display in the Fritz box will now lt. Achieved only minimally better throughput rates (75Mbit and 42 Mbit) ... And it only about half of the data transmission is available.
I find that disappointing.
If, however, still ok, if the connection would run permanently. On Saturday and Sunday morning between commissioning but the links are broken twice - I'm going to watch a couple of days. From Sunday morning until Monday there were no more problems. When it comes to other failures, the adapters certainly not stay here but go back.
Annoying is, in my view, that the smart home features the 546E adapters are not integrated on the appropriate menu item in the Fritzbox and thus not let the outlets turn on the Fritzfon.
I'm hoping for an update within a very short time, the first provides at least a permanently stable connection. And at least in the second step, of course, enables centralized smart home management in the Fritz box.
Following the announcement of this 546E Adapter at Cebit in 2012 I had expected a better operability.
Addendum March 8: The stability of the adapter is not convincing yet. A crash per adapter per week is annoying. Especially because the adapter is not common, but uncoordinated turn. As the network should work just straightforward and this unfortunately is not really doing - now only two stars. AVM: Updates please!
