AVM FRITZ!Powerline 1240 AX WLAN Set, 1200 Mbit/s Powerline Adapter with Wi-Fi and Ethernet LAN, 2-Piece Kit

The AVM FRITZ!Powerline 1240 AX WLAN Set is a high-performance networking solution designed to extend your internet connection throughout your home or office using existing electrical wiring. By transforming any standard power outlet into a high-speed network access point, this 2-piece kit eliminates the need for drilling holes or laying long Ethernet cables. It combines advanced Powerline technology with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, ensuring that your devices receive a stable and fast connection regardless of their distance from the main router.

Advantages

This system offers a significant boost in data throughput by utilizing 2x2 MIMO technology, which allows for simultaneous data exchange across all three wires of your electrical circuit, resulting in 60 to 80 percent higher data rates compared to standard two-wire systems. The integration of Wi-Fi 6 ensures reliable wireless performance in the 2.4 GHz band, while the Mesh Wi-Fi support allows the devices to work seamlessly with your existing FRITZ! network to create a single, unified coverage area. Furthermore, the inclusion of gigabit LAN ports provides a direct, high-speed connection for stationary devices, ensuring maximum stability for bandwidth-heavy tasks.

Suitable for

• Extending internet coverage to rooms with poor Wi-Fi signal
• Connecting smart TVs, game consoles, and PCs via wired gigabit LAN
• Providing stable connectivity for HD streaming and online gaming
• Creating a seamless Mesh Wi-Fi network in large homes or offices

This set may not be suitable for homes with complex or outdated electrical wiring where the phase separation between outlets is too great, as this can significantly degrade performance. It is also not intended for use in environments where electrical interference from heavy industrial machinery might disrupt the signal transmission over the power lines.

Key specifications

• Powerline data transfer rates up to 1200 Mbit/s
• Wi-Fi 6 support in the 2.4 GHz spectrum up to 600 Mbit/s
• 2x2 MIMO technology for increased throughput
• Integrated gigabit Ethernet LAN ports
• 128-bit AES encryption for secure connections
• Mesh Wi-Fi compatibility

To use the AVM FRITZ!Powerline 1240 AX, simply plug the first adapter into a wall outlet near your router and connect it via an Ethernet cable. Plug the second adapter into an outlet in the room where you need network access. Once both are plugged in, press the button on the devices to pair them securely. The system will automatically establish a connection, and you can then connect your devices via Wi-Fi or the integrated LAN ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the electrical outlets are on the same circuit for optimal performance
• Check if your current router supports Mesh Wi-Fi for the best integration
• Verify the number of wired devices you need to connect to utilize the LAN ports
• Consider the physical space around the wall outlet to ensure proper ventilation

For the best performance, always plug the Powerline adapters directly into wall outlets rather than into power strips or surge protectors, as these can filter out the high-frequency signals required for data transmission.
