Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Box 4060 is a high-performance tri-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) router designed for flexible connection to existing fiber, cable, or DSL modems via its 2.5 Gigabit WAN port. It delivers aggregate wireless speeds up to 6,000 Mbps (2400 + 2400 Mbps on dual 5 GHz bands and 1200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz) supported by 4x4 MU-MIMO technology and a 2.2 GHz quad-core processor. Key characteristics include an integrated DECT base station for up to six cordless phones, a USB 3.0 port for NAS functionality, and a built-in firewall with WPA3 security. Main pros are its superior handling of multiple devices through tri-band capacity, robust Mesh Wi-Fi integration, and a dedicated telephone system. Notable cons include the lack of a built-in modem, the absence of support for 160 MHz channel bandwidth which can limit peak single-device speeds, and a design that is restricted to an upright standing position.
