CAX30 - Mediacom switching to Fiber Optic.
I bought a CAX30 about eight months ago. Mediacom just called me to let me know they are installing fiber optic lines to the houses in the near future. From what I understand, I will not be able to...
I have no personal experience with eero. Amazon seems to sell a lot of them, and they get decent reviews. As far as I am aware, there is no eero model that connects directly to fiber.
Thus, the ISP is likely to install a fiber ONT. As long as you know what is required to connect to their network (some ISPs use DHCP. some require user name/password logins), then you could connect any brand of router to the ONT.
In 2025, it "makes sense" to purchase a WiFi router that at least supports WiFi6. (802.11ax) There are already user devices which support WiFi6E and WiFi7, and over the next couple of years it is more likely that customers may acquire devices which can benefit from those advanced capabilities.
Thanks again!!! I just had an issue with the eero devices in my house because once you connect them to the router, you no longer can have any wired connections. I use wireless myself but I have a roommate who uses ethernet cable to connect and now that I think about it, my wireless printer connects to my router, but it also needs an ethernet cable. I'll be happy to be on the fiber, it's just the change that bugs me, and not knowing what all is provided by Mediacom. I'm going to call them again tomorrow and see if I can get some answers. They have to have SOME customers on fiber, they keep bragging about it.
