Manual read exactly - from then big grin

I could try one of the first equipment and was very excited about it. As always with AVM: Small box, accurate packaging, brief instructions and online the complete guide. And as I have made a mistake. I have not read carefully enough, which is why I did not come to the destination during the initial installation. In the second attempt, things went quite fix. Because I'm used to read instructions, I would deduct half a star here, the instructions might represent each scenario at home a little more clearly and not refer several times in the manual to other sites. However, because the rest is so good, it remains at all five stars.

Consider the following scenario before purchase of 546E: DSL connection on the first floor, in the living room on the ground floor, the home theater with those AVR 3313 receiver, DBT 1713 Bluray and T-Entertain media receiver. Because the living room was only reachable Powerline, I had a 500E powerline adapters for the home theater installation, installed a 4-port switch with power supply unit and an Apple Airport Express as a second hotspot. Disadvantage: three additional power consumers, a bunch of cables and Christmas tree-like behind the center speaker illumination through the whole lamp.

The configuration of the 546E I took the computer from above, coupled him with the 500e, which is inserted close to the Fritz box. The installation took less than 10 minutes.

For the past two months I use the 546E. The operation is easy, no heat generation at the outlet, with a simulated power failure no problems with the reboot. I am glad that I was able to save the 500e, Airport Express and Switch. Because the 546E depends now on a LAN port of the AV receiver for the radio, on the other LAN port depends of the T-Entertain-receiver and with the 546E I create the hotspot for guests. The range is perfect.

The current sensing and switching function I have not yet used. I also wonder even if I hang all consumers on a power strip on the 546E to save through the central switching on and off of power in standby. According to AVM, the AVM can withstand a load of around 2.2 kilowatts. My amp has a maximum output of 7x165 watts, the TV needs 400 watts, of the total burden would that. I would then turn off the Media Receiver automatically with, I have refrained. Then I could no longer use the programming function on the Media Receiver from the road.

I have checked with AVM, whether there will be a "little brother" of the 546E, the no hotspot feature, but also has two LAN ports. If I have understood correctly, is there anything at CeBIT. That takes me too long, so I buy now a 546E.

Addendum: I have to correct myself, there were now less than two months and I felt for a long time so that work. I was lucky and got one of the first device.
