Hi,

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.

    The WN3000RP is a wifi range extender. (Netgear hasn't made the "V1" model in some time.) If that is what you are trying to connect, it needs a router of some sort in front of it.

     

    How does the Fibre Optic Network reach you? A modem?

     

    An Optical Network Terminal (ONT)? (That's a box on the wall that connects you to a fibre network.)

     

    The trouble is that "Fibre Optic Network" can mean many things. ISPs like to boast that they have "fibre" but every network has fibre in it somewhere
