Gigabit Network from every socket: It's that simple
No more Wi-Fi dead zones and complicated cable laying. With the AVM FRITZ!Powerline 1220, you turn every socket in your home into a lightning-fast Network connection. Installation is ingeniously simple: connect one adapter to the router, plug the second adapter where you need internet – done. Thanks to the Plug & Play setup, the adapters are securely paired ex works and immediately ready for use. This is how easily you can extend your Network via the power line.
Maximum Performance thanks to 2x2 MIMO Technology
The FRITZ!Powerline 1220 uses the HomePlug AV2 standard with 2x2 MIMO technology. This means it uses not just two, but three wires of your electrical network (phase, neutral, and protective conductor) for data transmission. The result is a significantly more stable, faster, and longer-range connection compared to conventional Powerline adapters. Perfect for 4K streaming, online gaming, and large data transfers without stuttering or interruptions.
Pure Flexibility: Two LAN Ports and No Socket Loss
Once at your destination, the FRITZ!Powerline 1220 offers you maximum connectivity options. With two Gigabit LAN ports, you can connect your Smart TV and game console simultaneously without needing an additional Ethernet Switch. And the best part: the integrated earthed socket ensures that you don't lose a valuable power outlet. The built-in mains filter also optimizes data transmission by filtering out interference from other connected devices.
Secure, Compatible, and Perfect in the FRITZ! Home Network
Your data is secure. The connection between the adapters is protected by a strong 128-bit AES encryption by default. You don't need to configure anything further. The adapter is also compatible with all Powerline devices of the 1200, 500, and 200 Mbit/s class. Although it works with any router, it unfolds its full potential in conjunction with a FRITZ!Box: easy management, updates, and a perfect overview of your entire Powerline / DLAN network directly in the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I combine the FRITZ!Powerline 1220 with adapters from other brands?
Yes, the FRITZ!Powerline 1220 is compatible with the HomePlug AV2 standard and can therefore work with adapters from other manufacturers that also support this standard. However, for optimal Network performance and stability, it is recommended to use adapters from the same manufacturer and performance class.
Does the FRITZ!Powerline 1220 also work in a multiple socket outlet?
AVM strongly advises against it. For maximum transmission performance and stability, the Powerline / DLAN adapter should always be plugged directly into a wall socket. Multiple socket outlets can significantly impair signal quality due to their integrated filters.
What do the different LED colors on the device mean?
The LEDs provide information about the operating status. A lit Power LED indicates Power Supply, the LAN LED an active Cabling connection. The 'Connect' LED signals the quality of the Powerline / DLAN connection: Green means a good connection, while Orange indicates a suboptimal position.
How do I set up an additional FRITZ!Powerline 1220 adapter?
To integrate a new adapter, plug it into a socket near an existing adapter. Then briefly press the 'Connect' button on the existing and then on the new adapter. The devices will then pair automatically and securely encrypted.
Do I need a FRITZ!Box to use the FRITZ!Powerline 1220?
No, a FRITZ!Box is not strictly necessary. The FRITZ!Powerline 1220 works with any WiFi Routers. However, integration into a home Network with a FRITZ!Box offers advantages, such as central management in the user interface.
Is the connection via Powerline secure?
Yes, data transmission between the FRITZ!Powerline adapters is secured by default with strong 128-bit AES encryption. This prevents unauthorized persons from accessing your data.
