Netgear Fiber Optic Modem
I am searching for a netgear fiber optic modem. I have moved to an area where my cable modem is not compatible with my service. We now have fiber optic service. A CAT-VI cable is ran from the D-Mark to a RJ-45 jack in my computer room. I have to use the subscribers huge modem. I would rather use my own modem. I have a Nighthawk R8000 router and love it. Because there is no input on my cable modem (netgear cm500) for a CAT-V or CAT-VI, it is useless. I need a fiber optic modem product to replace the cable modem or a converter if there is such a part. Can someone help me with a part number for a netgear fiber optic modem or any suggestions?

Hey Dexter,
I appreciate your response. I took your advice. I connected the cat-VI cable from the wall into a Netgear-GS-605 5-port gigabit ethernet switch. Then out of the switch, I connected a cat-VI cable to the Netgear Nighthawk X-6 Model 8000. Everything works fine. Thanks for the help.
