FRITZ! Box 4040 International
Question about FRITZ! Box 4040 International
Can I set the 4040 in exactly the same way as my previous 7540 with regard to WLAN configuration? Specifically, with the latter I could set the radiation intensity of the WLAN exactly to the %. Why I'm changing: the 7540 was from Sunrise and I switched to UPC. With their Connect Box, the WLAN cannot be configured except to switch it on or off completely. I prefer the flexibility of the FRITZ!Box, but of course I have to return the sunrise device and would like to replace it with the 4040, as I can then connect it to the Connect Box.

Hello Daniel
Good idea to connect an original FB via LAN behind the UPC box (also behind the FB from Sunrise, on which a proprietary firmware with limited possibilities is running!
that's how it works for me too.
Of course, the FB 4040 doesn't have the same possibilities as the FB 7540, but as a pure WLAN router it is always sufficient. With the FB 4040 you have approx. 4 adjustable, different WLAN transmission powers. The mesh option of the FB 4040 is also great (for the future expansion of your WLAN!).
Kind regards, Gerhard
