The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G is an innovative router solution developed by AVM specifically for use in 5G mobile networks. With its support for 5G technology, it enables ultra-fast internet connections, which offer a remarkable performance boost especially in areas with good 5G coverage. However, even in regions without 5G coverage, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G is extremely versatile, as it is backward compatible with LTE, thus also enabling fast mobile data connections via older mobile network standards. A standout feature of the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G is its support for the Wi-Fi 5 standard (802.11ac). This allows users to benefit from a stable and fast wireless internet connection that supports demanding applications such as 4K video streaming or online gaming.
External Mobile Antennas
The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G features external antenna connectors that provide additional flexibility for optimizing network coverage and signal strength. These external antenna connectors allow users to connect external antennas to improve the range and quality of the wireless connection. By connecting external antennas, users can optimize the orientation and positioning of the antennas to better receive signals and minimize interference. This can be particularly useful when the FRITZ!Box is used in areas with weak mobile coverage or strong radio interference. The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G supports various types of external antennas, including directional antennas, omnidirectional antennas, and sector antennas. Depending on the specific requirements and conditions of the location, users can choose the appropriate type of external antennas to optimize the performance of their wireless network.
Voice-over-IP
In addition to its function as a router, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G also features an integrated telephone system for voice-over-IP (VoIP). This allows users to connect analog telephones, use DECT cordless phones, and register up to six cordless phones via the integrated DECT base station.
Gigabit Ethernet
For users who prefer wired network connections, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G offers Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast connections to devices such as computers, smart TVs, and game consoles. In addition, USB ports are available for sharing USB devices such as printers or external hard drives on the network. USB modems for use in regions without 5G coverage can also be connected here.
Security
In terms of security and privacy, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G offers a variety of features, including an integrated firewall, Wi-Fi encryption, and regular firmware updates to protect the network from threats.
Data Throughput
The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G offers impressive data throughput and performance to meet the demands of modern internet usage. With its support for 5G technology, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G enables ultra-fast internet connections over 5G mobile networks. However, the exact data throughput depends on various factors, including the quality and availability of the 5G signal, the number of simultaneously connected devices, the distance to the nearest mobile base station, and other environmental factors. In addition, the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G also supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). This means that users can also benefit from fast and stable wireless internet connections when using wireless connections via Wi-Fi. However, it is important to note that the actual data throughput may vary depending on the above-mentioned factors. Careful placement of the FRITZ!Box, optimization of antenna position, and selection of optimal Wi-Fi channels can help to achieve the best possible performance from the FRITZ!Box 6850 5G.
User Interface
The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G is also characterized by its user-friendliness. It can be easily set up and managed via the intuitive user interface from AVM. In addition, AVM provides extensive customer support if assistance is needed.
