connectivity to fiber optic network provider (Kinetic)
DO I NEED A MODEM TO CONNECT MY NIGHTHAWK AC2600, MODEL R7450 TO A FIBER OPTIC NETWORK PROVIDER (KINETIC), OR CAN I SIMPLY PLUG IN TO THE WAN PORT ON THE REAR OF THE UNIT?
What sockets come out of the box that delivers your Internet?
Is it a standard LAN port?
How many are there?
Does it also provide wifi.
If there is just one port and no wifi, it could sell be a basic device that will happily feed a router.
Of course, you could always ask your Internet service provider what it expects you to use. It might even have a list of hardware known to work on its network.
