Does Netgear make pon and FTTH modems?
I own a Netgear CM3700 10gb dosic 3,1 Coaxial modem. I really love this thing, and it was 400$ at one point. I truly thought I'd never replace it in my entire life. I upgraded my home service to ...

A couple things.
1. there isn't a cm3700.
2. the C3700 isn't 10gb or docsis 3.1 so not sure what device you have
Netgear doesn't make an ont/fibre gateway. But most fibre ISP's provide you with either an ONT or a gateway device to connect your router to. You just need a router only device to use.

Thank you for the answer.
Yea, but as someone who's always owned his own equipment, and doesn't like anyone having any "remote access" to my network in any capacity I'm quite sad netgear doesn't make an ONT for the GPON specification.
I own a C7800,
Any my only hope is that I can use my C7800 now as a DMZ as it has all the nice readyshare options.

The C7800 won't work as a router only device.
It has a modem only mode and a modem/router mode. It needs that coax input.
there might be a way to make it work as a sort of access point but not sure if it'll work on that device.
You have to disable dhcp on the c7800 and give it a static ip address thats in the range of the primary gateway's IP range.
