Box 4050 wireless router Gigabit Ethernet Dual-band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) Black, White

The FRITZ!Box 4050 Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 desktop router provides fast wireless and wired network connectivity for home and small office environments. It supports dual-band operation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and uses the Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard to improve throughput and efficiency. With a maximum WLAN data transfer rate of 2400 Mbit/s, four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and an internal antenna design, the device combines high-speed wireless performance with reliable wired connections and flexible WAN options via RJ‑11/RJ‑45.

Advantages

The router delivers enhanced wireless capacity and better performance for multiple devices through Wi‑Fi 6 technology, while backward compatibility ensures support for older Wi‑Fi standards. Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports provide stable, high-speed wired links for desktops, NAS or smart home hubs. Internal antennas simplify placement by keeping the design compact and the two-tone colour options allow it to blend into different interiors. The built-in USB port adds options for network storage or peripheral sharing.

How to use

Place the FRITZ!Box 4050 on a stable surface in a central location to ensure optimal wireless coverage. Connect the WAN line using the RJ‑11 or RJ‑45 interface depending on your internet service, then attach wired devices to the Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports as needed. Power on the router and follow the on‑screen setup assistant via the web interface or the manufacturer's configuration app to set network name (SSID), Wi‑Fi password and security settings. Connect client devices to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network depending on range and throughput requirements.

Recommendations

For best wireless performance, place the router raised and away from large metal objects and other sources of interference. Use the 5 GHz band for bandwidth‑intensive tasks such as 4K streaming and online gaming, and reserve the 2.4 GHz band for devices that need greater range. Keep firmware up to date to maintain security and compatibility with the latest client devices.
