The tech will then run a cable from a nearby equipment box to the ONT, which will carry the fiber-optic connection from the larger network to your premises.
Do I need a special router for fiber optic?
No, fiber-optic technology does not need a special router, there are various Wi-Fi routers available in the markets that are compatible with fiber internet speeds.
However, if your fiber connection offers faster speeds than your old internet service, you may need to invest in a new wireless router.
