Try installing firwmare version 1.0.9.42 to the R7000. Then do a factory reset and a new install (don't use a backup configuration)

Most fibre companies give you an ONT or a gateway to convert from fibre to ethernet. 

That's what you'd connect the XR to. 

 

What current modem is your current router connected to?

its possible that its just a settings issue.

Can't see the picture, you will have to attach it directly otherwise take a look on the underside of the modem and it will tell you the model. If the modem has a LAN ethernet port then the XR can be connected to it.

Looks like an Adtran 411.

It should work with the XR500
