CBR40 fiber converter?
Bought an Orbi CBR40 during COVID as I moved and had to get Comcast installed in my new house (huge pain but that's another story). The CBR40 has the coax hand-off from the internet provider.
MetroNet is now offering fiber in the area as they finally fixed their issue on my street. I would like to have that provider as I need faster speeds but it is a fiber handoff.
I purchased my CBR40 in May so it is only a few months old. I don't think there is a converter out there to go from fiber to coax so I could use this module so curious if anyone has any suggestions. Dropped a few hundred on the CBR40 and don't want to drop another few hundred on a new module.

There's not but you can potentially make the cbr40 work as an access point. This guide is for the c6300 but it could work for the cbr.
