Internetseite avm.de/service.
FRITZ!Powerline 1260E expands your
existing powerline network and can be
used with your wireless LAN and network
devices as a secure access point to the
home network and the internet.
In the FRITZ!Box home network,
FRITZ!Powerline 1260E automatically
adopts the FRITZ!Box‘s settings. With a
FRITZ!Box that has FRITZ!OS 6.90 or higher
installed, you can also benefi t from expan-
ded Mesh WiFi functionality. More detailed
information about the benefi ts and the
confi guration of Mesh WiFi is presented at
en.avm.de/mesh-networking.
For device settings FRITZ!Powerline 1260E
has a user interface. In the user inter-
face you can update the FRITZ!OS device
software, set up a wireless schedule and
a wireless guest access, or confi gure
FRITZ!Powerline 1260E as a wireless
repeater to expand your existing wireless
radio network.
Thanks to these properties FRITZ!Power-
line 1260E is a versatile device with many
application possibilities, that can expand
the range of your home network over
powerline, wireless LAN and over LAN
connections.
Have fun with your
FRITZ!Powerline 1260E!

Requirements for Gigabit
Data Rates
For high data rates with gigabit
speeds (up to 1200 Mbit/s gross), the
FRITZ!Powerline1260E deploys MIMO
technology. MIMO requires a modern
circuit with safety outlets and with live
(L), neutral (N) and protective earth (PE)
conductors. In these three-wire circuits,
FRITZ!Powerline1260E can combine the
live and the earth conductor to make an
additional wire pair for data transmis-
sion to increase the data rate. You can
also deploy the FRITZ!Powerline1260E
in older circuits with two conductors, in
which the neutral conductor takes on
the function of the protective earth. Data
rates of up to 600 Mbit/s (gross) are
possible in such circuits.

face you can open in the web browser on
