AC5300 (Fibre Modem)
Hi Fellows,
I was wondering if the AC5300 router is vdsl capable? If not, which wifi router should I buy that has a fibre optics modem built-in? On the other hand, is there a standalone fibre optics only modem that Netgear produces?
Thanks.

Welcome to the community!
Your modem should support the fiber optic connection then you connect to the AC5300 (R8500) router.
However, if you're looking for a modem router that has a fiber optic modem built-in, NETGEAR does not have any device that would meet that requirement.
We only have Cable and VDSL gateways.
