New fiber optic router model
New fiber optic router model
For fiber internet, use a fiber modem instead of a router. A modem should connect directly between your router and the ISP line—whether it's fiber, coaxial, or DSL. Your service provider typically installed this equipment for you. Are you looking to upgrade? Or are you planning an internal LAN connection over fiber?
I possess the AX11000 rupture equipped with an adapter, without a modem. It functions properly, and both SFP and SFP+ operate under the same principle; the SFP+ simply offers enhanced performance.
I don't know what that means but here is my interpretation: currently I have a coaxial cable going into the house which then goes into what I would call the router (It might have a modem built in, to be perfectly honest I don't know). I was looking to get a new "router" because the stock one can barely reach upstairs (downstairs: 180 up, 50 down. Upstairs: 1 up, 0.5 down). So my question was: is there a way to get a new router that can accept that coaxial input instead of me having to pass through the current router? (Thanks in advance)
People are handling the conversion from public to private IP addresses. The AX11000 might function as a modem itself. If it has coaxial input, that part is the modem. It connects internally to a router that offers Wi-Fi and probably four Ethernet ports. You’re probably considering fiber unless you have a specific reason. Fiber won’t speed things up and could complicate matters further. For stronger Wi-Fi, switch your router to bridge mode or use a different modem from brands like Motorola or Netgear, linking it to the better router either through your ISP’s combo unit or a new modem.
You might be missing a detail about how fiber internet setups work. Routers can claim fiber speed but often provide only Ethernet ports for wired connections.
Let's pause for a moment.
1) Is fiber optic internet available at your residence or does it use coaxial service?
2) You're aiming to expand your Wi-Fi coverage and plan to replace your current router for that purpose.
I believed I had a fiber connection using coaxial, but the wording suggests otherwise. For reference, here’s a link to an extension cable for the cable already connected to the router: Extension Cable for Virgin Media Broadband Superhub Modem Router TiVo or Sky TV | eBay
I accidentally clicked the submit button, so I couldn’t include both answers here. Still, the main aim is to boost Wi-Fi coverage and speed. Upgrading from the default router can help achieve advertised performance. Since our space feels like an anechoic chamber, extra range would be helpful. Plus, everyone loves streaming YouTube while anchoring nearby.
