Fiber optic to ethernet media converter

Is it possible for me to use a media converter (such as a 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Single Fiber WDM Fast Ethernet Converter) to adapt my fiber optic internet to an ethernet Netgear router? Currently, I have a fiber optic modem provided by my ISP which connects to a Nokia Wifi Gateway 3 via a built-in ST fiber optic cable. I want to replace the Gateway 3 with a Netgear router, but to do this I need to connect the fiber optic modem to the ethernet-ported Netgear router. Has anyone done this?

    You'd need to ask your ISP what they allow for ONT
