Product details

With the FRITZ!Box 4040, AVM expands its range of FRITZ!Box routers without an integrated modem with a new top model. The FRITZ!Box 4040 can be used as a fast WLAN AC router with any existing network or any DSL, cable, or fiber optic modem. It also supports UMTS, HSPA, and LTE sticks for internet access. As usual, the FRITZ!Box 4040 connects all computers, smartphones, tablets, and other network-capable devices with each other and to the home network.

The FRITZ!Box 4040 is the perfect solution for users who want to continue using an existing cable or VDSL/ADSL modem or expand an existing network. It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections simultaneously, resulting in significantly greater range and higher transmission rates in WLAN. This enables multiple bandwidth-intensive applications to be used wirelessly and in parallel.

Für ein kleines WLAN-Netzwerk ist die Fritzbox 4040 optimal: Vor allem über kurze Strecken liefert sie hohe Datenraten. Bei viel WLAN-Verkehr oder großer Entfernung zur Gegenstelle hat sie aber Mühe. Die üblichen AVM-Pluspunkte wie übersichtliches Menü und zahlreiche Firmware-Updates mit Verbesserungen und zusätzlichen Funktionen zeichnen auch die kleine Fritzbox aus.
