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.

    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.
