Born to replace the old 4020, the reality is that it completely dethrones it, implementing all the technological innovations that it lacked and that for so many users Have become fundamental elements. As it is being traditional in the devices of the manufacturer AVM, it maintains the same design in wedge smoothed and with the lateral aileron that, next to the red and silver finishes, so simple they make recognize their routers. But if we analyze its characteristics we can see that everything changes. Beginning with support for 802.11ac WiFi networks (in front of the 4020 n), which allows you to offer speeds of up to 866 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and up to 400 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. It also renews its wired capabilities, which are fundamental in devices such as consoles, old desktops and even SmartTV, which will now enjoy Gigabit Ethernet ports and not those limited to 10/100.

Box 4040 also renews its data connections and offers 2 USB ports (one of them of the revision 3.0) to which you can connect your portable hard disks or units of memory, and access its content from any device. With absolute security The security section is also present in the development of this new equipment. And it comprises from the secure connection with your devices through the use of WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) technology, with which we will only have to press a button to connect our devices to the network, to the implementation of the main wireless security protocols like WPA2 or the possibility of creating networks of guests, with which your friends or visitors can navigate but without having the possibility to access your personal computers. Beside these virtues, and if you want to use the FRITZ! WLAN USB sticks, you can automatically transfer the settings through AVM Stick & Surf. Both for use as a neutral router, as if what you need is an extender for your network, with the 4040 sure you will not be disappointed. Quote
