Your Upgrade for the Gigabit Era
You have a fast fiber optic or cable connection, but the full speed isn't reaching your devices? The FRITZ!Box 4060 is the answer. As a pure WiFi Router without an integrated modem, it specializes in optimally processing the performance of your external modem. With its 2.5-Gigabit WAN port, it's the perfect FRITZ!Box for fiber optic modem connections and high-speed cable tariffs. Finally, you can fully utilize speeds beyond the 1 Gbps mark and elevate your entire network to a new level.
Triband WLAN: The Intelligent Highway for Your Data
Imagine your WLAN having not just two, but three lanes. That's exactly what the FRITZ!Box 4060 offers you. While the 2.4 GHz band reliably connects your smart home devices, two separate 5 GHz bands are available for demanding applications like 4K streaming, online gaming, and video conferencing. The trick: If you use a FRITZ! Mesh system, one 5 GHz band can be exclusively reserved for ultra-fast communication between the router and repeaters. The result is a more stable and noticeably faster WLAN throughout the house. This makes it the ideal, fast Triband WiFi Router for demanding households.
More Than Just Internet: Telephony and Smart Home Integrated
Unlike most pure WiFi routers on the market, the FRITZ!Box 4060 integrates a full-fledged DECT base station. You can register up to six cordless phones directly with the router and benefit from HD telephony, multiple answering machines, and countless comfort functions. Analog phones cannot be connected; the focus is clearly on modern DECT technology. Additionally, the base serves as a central hub for FRITZ!DECT Smart Home products such as switchable sockets or radiator controls.
The FRITZ!OS Hub for Maximum Control
The true strength of every FRITZ!Box lies in its operating system. FRITZ!OS offers you an intuitive interface with which you can easily manage every aspect of your network. Set up secure VPN access with WireGuard for your home office, create individual access profiles with parental controls, or use the fast USB 3.0 port to operate a powerful media server (NAS). If you are looking for a powerful Wi-Fi 6 Router with 2.5G Port that offers maximum flexibility, the 4060 is the right choice. Buy AVM Router without Modem means choosing pure performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I connect the FRITZ!Box 4060 directly to my phone jack?
No. The FRITZ!Box 4060 does not have a built-in modem. It must be connected via the blue 2.5G WAN port to an external modem, which in turn is connected to your phone jack, cable connection, or fiber optic connection.
What is the main advantage of triband WiFi with this Router?
Triband enables a smarter distribution of WiFi devices across three frequency bands. This reduces interference and bottlenecks, especially when many devices are active simultaneously. Additionally, a 5 GHz band can be used exclusively for communication between the Router and Mesh WiFi Repeaters, which increases speed throughout the entire Mesh Network.
Is the FRITZ!Box 4060 suitable for a fiber optic connection?
Yes, it is ideally suited for this. The 2.5-Gigabit WAN port is perfect for bringing the high speeds of modern fiber optic connections (over 1 Gbit/s) into the home Network without loss. It is connected to the fiber optic modem (ONT).
Can I connect my old analog phones to the FRITZ!Box 4060?
No. The integrated telephone system works exclusively with DECT cordless phones. There are no connections (TAE or RJ11) for analog phones or fax machines.
How does the 4060 differ from the FRITZ!Box 7590 AX?
The 4060 is a pure Router without a modem, but has triband WiFi and a faster 2.5G WAN port. The 7590 AX has an integrated VDSL Modem, but only dual-band WiFi and exclusively 1G ports. The 4060 is the better choice if a powerful modem is already available.
Does the Router support WiFi Mesh?
Yes, the FRITZ!Box 4060 is fully Mesh-compatible. It can be used as a Mesh Master (central unit) or as a Mesh WiFi Repeater in an existing FRITZ! Network to ensure seamless WiFi Access Point coverage.
