Sorry if i expressed myself incorrectly , wanted to know how i physically connect my R9000 . Through a converter ( optical to RJ45 ) or through SFP . Thanks again.

Yes you can via ethernet. Also could connect it to the routers SPF port if you got a converter if the Fiber device has a higher connection rated feed. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Wi-Fi-5-AC-Routers/R9000-Nighthawk-X10-Router-SFP-internet-port-question/td-p/2346862/jump-to/first-unread-message
