AVM FRITZ!Box 4040 is a versatile home router, supporting 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet but has no integrated modem. Instead, the WAN port can be connected to several types of upstream modems like fiber, cable or DSL.
Getting started with a new Device Page
- This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that you have to fill it with life and information.
- There are several “fixme” tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness.
- When there are no more “fixme” tags left, delete this one too, along with the
<WRAP>that encloses it.
Keep the articles modular
- Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles
- If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to docs
- base-system should lead the way, do not explain this again
- DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead groom the general documentation.

Installation
When this device is powered on, the EVA bootloader allows FTP connection attempts during a certain time frame. The FTP server can be reached at IP 192.168.178.1, so give your workstation the IP 192.168.178.2 and try to connect to the recently powered on device after a few seconds.
$ ftp -n -v -p 192.168.178.1 Connected to 192.168.178.1 (192.168.178.1). 220 ADAM2 FTP Server ready ftp> quote USER adam2 331 Password required for adam2 ftp> quote PASS adam2 230 User adam2 successfully logged in ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH 200 Media set to MEDIA_FLASH ftp> binary 200 Type set to BINARY ftp> put openwrt-18.06.1-ipq40xx-avm_fritzbox-4040-squashfs-eva.bin mtd1 local: openwrt-18.06.1-ipq40xx-avm_fritzbox-4040-squashfs-eva.bin remote: mtd1 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,178,1,12,0) 150 Opening BINARY data connection 226 Transfer complete 5505028 bytes sent in 24,7 secs (223,21 Kbytes/sec) ftp> quote check mtd1 150 Flash check 0x9F288C3D
Give it the image file you want to flash in the put command. After it displays something like “150 Flash check 0x…” the procedure is done. It will not terminate automatically, so power-cycle the device.
Note: If you like to ensure there are no configuration leftovers from the previously installed firmware, reset it to factory defaults before flashing.
if you get an error “502 command not implemented” use the command passive after binary.
Flashing Stock Firmware
If you want to go back to stock firmware, download the .image file from AVM's website linked above in the box. Rename the file extension to .tar, extract the archive and find the file var/tmp/kernel.image. Use the FTP flashing procedure above and give the put command the kernel.image file.
Alternatively, AVM offers a recovery tool for Windows.
Flash Layout
Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example).
Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout.
Upgrading OpenWrt
These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics.
LuCI Web Upgrade Process
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/LuCI Upgrade URL - Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
- Wait for reboot
Terminal Upgrade Process
If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading:
sysupgrademtd
Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
sysupgrade
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc
mtd
If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd.
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot
Debricking

Specific Configuration
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
Network interfaces
The default network configuration is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
|---|---|---|
| br-lan | EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi | EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24 |
| vlan0 (eth0.0) | EXAMPLE LAN ports (1 to 4) | EXAMPLE None |
| vlan1 (eth0.1) | EXAMPLE WAN port | EXAMPLE DHCP |
| wl0 | EXAMPLE WiFi | EXAMPLE Disabled |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
Numbers 0..3 are Ports 4..1 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.
| Port | Switch port |
|---|---|
| Internet (WAN) | EXAMPLE 4 |
| LAN 1 | EXAMPLE 3 |
| LAN 2 | EXAMPLE 2 |
| LAN 3 | EXAMPLE 1 |
| LAN 4 | EXAMPLE 0 |
Buttons
→ hardware.button on howto use and configure the hardware button(s). Here, we merely name the buttons, so we can use them in the above Howto.
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
The AVM FRITZ!Box 4040 has the following buttons:

Info
- This table is automatically generated, once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.
- If you see “Nothing.” instead of a table, please edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand and Model. Just try, it's easy.
- If you still don't see a table here, or a table filled with '¿': Is there already a Techdata page available for AVM FRITZ!Box 4040 ? If not: Create one.
- If you see a table with the desired device data, everything is OK and you can delete this text and the
<WRAP>that encloses it. - If it still doesn't work: Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and contact a wiki admin (tmomas) for help.
