In summer, many families go to their second homes on the beach or in the mountains to relax. Generally, they do not have an Internet connection in these homes because they only stay for a few weeks. In these cases, having a MiFi or a 4G LTE router is essential to be able to stay connected to the Internet on vacation, and enjoy video streaming, web browsing and many other uses. Want to win one of the best 4G LTE routers you can buy today? Today at RedesZone and with the collaboration of the AVM brand, we are going to raffle among all of you a magnificent AVM FRITZ! Box 6850 LTE router.
4G LTE routers allow us to insert a SIM card inside, and automatically connect to mobile broadband networks, with the aim of having an Internet connection both by WiFi and by cable, without having to depend on a smartphone doing Tethering, or a battery-powered MiFi that normally has less coverage than these devices. AVM has different models of routers, and today we are going to raffle one of their latest devices, the FRITZ!Box 6850 LTE.
Main features of this router
This 4G LTE router has an LTE Cat 4 modem, so we can have a speed of up to 150Mbps in download and up to 50Mbps in upload. It will also work well on 3G networks, since it supports HSPA+ standards with up to 42Mbps download speeds. Of course, this router supports all the frequency bands available in this 4G technology, specifically it supports:
- Band 1 (2.1GHz)
- Band 3 (1.8GHz)
- Band 5 (850 MHz)
- Band 7 (2.6GHz)
- Band 8 (900 MHz)
- Band 20 (800 MHz)
- Band 28 (700 MHz)

In addition, this router also supports TTD in band 38 (2.6 GHz), band 40 (2.3 GHz) and band 41 (2.5 GHz). Finally, with the aim of achieving the best possible signal reception, this model has two detachable external antennas.

In the 2.4GHz band we can get up to 400Mbps speed, and in the 5GHz band we can get up to 867Mbps speed. This model has all the WiFi technologies such as MU-MIMO at 5GHz, Beamforming as well as the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) physical button to connect different wireless devices through this button. Regarding security, it supports both WPA2 and WPA3-Personal.
The most interesting thing about this model at the WiFi level is that it supports Mesh, we will have at our disposal both WiFi roaming to move from one node to another without cutting the connection, as well as band-steering so that the router places us perfectly in a frequency band or another. Of course, this model allows centralized management from the router, and is compatible with other routers, WiFi repeaters and also PLC devices from the manufacturer.
At the wired level, we have a total of four Gigabit Ethernet ports for the LAN, to achieve the best possible speed in the local network. Another feature is that we have a high-performance USB 3.0 port, so we can share files and folders on the local network and the Internet very easily and quickly, we can use Samba, FTP, DLNA servers and FRITZ!NAS functions. .
This FRITZ!Box 6850 LTE router, like the rest of the brand’s models, has integrated IP telephony thanks to its VoIP switchboard. We have an RJ-11 and TAE port to connect analog phones, but we also have a DECT base to connect up to 6 cordless phones simultaneously. FRITZ!Fon phones will provide you with exciting additional features.
Regarding the FRITZ!OS firmware of this device, we have a FRITZ!OS 7.56 or higher firmware, so we have the popular WireGuard VPN available to us both in client and server mode. Of course, we have all the usual advanced configuration options, in this aspect nothing has changed.
