My first step would be to connect the Vodafone router to the fiber modem, plug a telephone into the Vodafone phone jack, and see if it works.
i.e.
- Is there a dial tone?
- Can it make phone calls?
- If you call the previous phone number, does this phone ring?
If not, it is time for a serious talk with Vodafone. One would assume that moving a service from copper to fiber would include moving all services that Vodafone provides.
There are no Netgear routers that support telephone service.
