If you have fiber internet, cable routers don't have the 'fiber optic port' required to connect fiber optic cable. Fiber is simply glass that transmits data via light instead of electrical pulses. There are different fiber standards with different usable ports, LC, SC, ST being the most common standards. You cannot replace the ISP-provided ONT with a traditional cable modem, but you can connect almost any wireless router for fiber internet to the ONT's Ethernet port. We've done the research for you and put together this in-depth guide that lists multiple options, their details, reviews, and pros and cons.
