The FRITZ!Box 4060 is a tri-band router compatible with the Wi-Fi 6 standard that recently became one of the most important novelties of the well-known German manufacturer AVM. Its external design surprised us, since it is a product that moves away from the classic line that AVM’s newer routers have, but overall I like the company’s bet on an angular finish and an almost all-white hue, broken only by a hint of red.
At the performance level, the FRITZ! Box 4060 makes it clear why it is one of the most attractive models within its price range. This router is prepared to work in «bridge» mode with any fiber optic, cable or DLS modem, which means that we can use it without having to deal with complicated configurations, and without fear of possible compatibility problems.
But that’s not all, the FRITZ!Box 4060 is not only a router with a high degree of compatibility that makes simplicity its flagship, it is also a state-of-the-art model which is prepared to work with the Wi-Fi 6 standard, and is capable of offering a high level of performance, thanks to its tri-band configuration, and the presence of three Gigabit LAN ports.
