The FRITZ!Powerline 546E

The FRITZ!Powerline 546E is not very small and so its durable enclosure measures 132mm in height, 59mm in width and 41mm in depth (without the plug).

To showcase just how large the 546E is we placed it right next to the most compact adapter we've tested to date the ETH-500 by Asoka.

At the lower end of the front AVM has placed the on/off, wireless on/off/WPS and pair/security one touch buttons/LEDs.

You can mount up to 2300W/10A worth of devices on the electrical socket of the 546E but unfortunately the holes lack the child protection feature found in other adapters.

At the bottom of the FRITZ!Powerline 546E we find the two RJ45 Ethernet ports.

Moving at the rear we see a large sticker which contains the device serial number, WLAN password, MAC address, LED information and electrical requirements.

You may have noticed that although we took pictures of an English box the sticker at the rear of the adapter was printed in German. Well this was because we received both the German and EU versions and decided to take pictures of the German adapter since the color of the enclosure is slightly darker and thus looks better on a white background (we will also be using both adapters in this review).
