Knowledge Base Connecting Router directly to incoming Glasfiber
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hey everyone,
is it possible to directly connect a incoming Glasfiber cable, from my ISP to a TP-link Router? So are there any GPON capable SFP+ modules?

Hi @Chris-Cross
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
It depends. If your ISP provided fiber does not require additional modulation, then you can use a fiber converter to convert it to Ethernet and use it with the router. But if your ISP requires modulation, then you need a modem to modulate.
So, it depends. You should try it before making sure everything's up and running safe.

Hi,
you may not directly connect them with a fiber,you need a modem which supports fiber income
there are SFP+ modules in sale but might be compatibility issues.
It is better to buy a fiber modem to meet your needs

@Applejack But the Router itself has already a modem integrated. Why is it not possible, to use a single mode SFP+ module and connect the glafiber directly to the Router?
