Your ISP upgraded your connection to Fiber, but you still have an ADSL modem. You can indeed use your ADSL router as a regular router with the fiber modem. Connect the fiber cable directly to the fiber modem, then link the Ethernet port from the modem to the router’s Ethernet port. Set the fiber modem to bridge mode, and use another Ethernet port on the router to connect your PC. This setup should work effectively.
It relies entirely on the settings in your old modem and the level of control it offers. Your instructions are accurate and should function properly. You might also connect your PC directly to a new fiber modem, and designate the cable between them for Wi-Fi use only, ensuring the connection speed isn’t restricted by multiple devices simultaneously.
