Vou tentar explicar. Estou contratando uma internet de fibra ótica, sendo que em casa tenho internet via rádio, onde uso meu roteador Netgear R6400. A operadora de fibra informou que não poderei usar mais este roteador, pois eles fornecem um outro apropriado para fibra. Gostaria de saber se este router que tenho não poderá ser usado nesta internet de fibra ótica?
I'll try to explain. I am hiring a fiber optic internet, and at home I have internet via radio, where I use my Netgear R6400 router. The fiber operator reported that I will not be able to use this router anymore, as they provide another suitable for fiber. I would like to know if this router I have cannot be used on this fiber optic internet?

If they have a gateway with integrated router that you're required to use, you can still use your netgear. Just put it in access point mode and connect it. It'll leave their device controlling the router and the netgear just as an access point.
