More than just a router: The complete hub for your home Network

And with the USB 3.0 port, your external hard drive becomes network storage (NAS) that you can access from anywhere.
Stable reception made easy: External Antennas for maximum power
Do you live in an area with a fluctuating mobile signal? No problem. The FRITZ!Box 6850 4G is perfectly prepared as a 4G Router for poor reception. It comes with two external mobile Antennas that you can optimally align. If that's not enough, you can simply unscrew them thanks to the standard SMA connectors and replace them with even more powerful 4G Outdoor Antennas. This way, you get the maximum speed and stability even from weak signals and ensure a reliable connection.
Calling and surfing in HD quality – completely without a cable connection
Who says you need a landline connection for a full-fledged telephone system? The FRITZ!Box 6850 4G proves otherwise. The integrated DECT base station connects up to six cordless phones and supports HD telephony for a crystal-clear call experience. Additionally, you can connect an analog phone, fax, or answering machine.
