Designed for installation indoors or in protected outdoor locations such as on a window, it includes an integrated DECT base station for up to six cordless phones, dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 (2.4 / 5 GHz), Gigabit Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) power supply. FRITZ!OS delivers a user-friendly interface, regular updates and a range of smart home and security functions.

Recommendations

For optimal 5G performance, mount the device where signal strength is highest (for example on a window facing the nearest cell tower) and keep firmware up to date. Use mesh-configured FRITZ! devices to improve coverage indoors and enable automatic updates in FRITZ!OS to maintain security and feature updates.
