Looking for a new fiber compatible modem?
Connect your PC straight and check if it reaches the internet. You’ll still need a way to assign an IP address, as you likely only have one public IP. Running it from a desktop works, but using a basic router for routing is usually preferable. A Wi-Fi access point tends to perform better than a PC-based Wi-Fi card.
I'm opting for the PC WiFi card since it performs better than the router's wireless.
They suggest the Synology RT2600AC. It has been verified to function with Gigabit internet connections. Even with a router featuring a Gigabit WAN port, it doesn't guarantee NAT capabilities at 1Gbps, so prioritize devices offering WAN to LAN and LAN to WAN throughput near Gigabit speeds.
