Question about fiber optics and router

Hello!
I was informed that there will be optical fibers installed in my location.
Will this router be able to connect to it: TP-Link TD-W8970-v3?
I see there is a WAN input so I guess so?

And how does a colleague want to connect an optical fiber to such a socket? I suggest you wait when your colleague gets the equipment from the operator - then you can shop. There is a good chance that a colleague from the operator will get the router.

I would rather buy the router chosen by my colleague for ADSL services, although as it can be set up on one of the Ethernet ports, it will also be able to create a network on the link provided by the Ethernet network.

Means I already have such a router and I will be ordering optical fiber from Neostrada for sure.

If you do not get a router in this set (looking after the Orange offer, it could probably be Funbox 3), you will get a device to which your router should be able to connect and configure.

It's about range, I have a big house so I need it. That's why I want to keep this router.

And I also have a question, how would I like to use a television connected to the Internet with a fiber optic cable, then it can also be solved like this?

As far as I know (but I do not have such a service, so these are the observations from installations seen somewhere there), you will get a decoder for TV, which must be connected with an Ethernet cable to the router from Orange. When it comes to extending the range, you can always use the tplink as a device that will create a wireless network in a different place (for example, on a different floor than the Orange router). Of course, a cable will also come in handy between these devices

You will get Funbox 3 for orange services on fiber, which probably cannot be switched to bridge mode.

But I will not take it, just a socket so they can connect me

And where will you stick the optical fiber? To an ethernet socket?
Probably soon there will be a question about the adapter

In 2013, they probably installed such modems, probably not even GPON.

I don't know, but I know that my router has a WAN input, so you can connect optical fibers to it.
What should I do?

Read what an optical fiber is. Once you come up with an idea how to connect a piece of glass to an electrical outlet with eight copper plates without additional conversion (and it will start working) - you will probably become a contender for some prestigious award. To this day, shining the laser into the WAN Ethernet socket does not result in any communication (although if you have a high-power laser, it may start to smoke, so you will be able to use communication from the old redskins).

And then, after you've read it, wait patiently for what you get from Orange, because now you can speculate and theorize.

After all, this funbox has nothing special, it will not differ from the dsl router?

WAN stands for Wide Area Network. Nowhere does it say that it should be an optical fiber.

But if you know better what can be connected to your router, why are you asking?

Not every lamp box is the same. If I agree for my colleague ADSL, Ethernet and FTTH, most of these boxes do exactly the same.

That's why I don't know why I'm asking.
My point is that this router can be connected to fiber optics, not some funbox.
Therefore, I am looking for a solution

Do you have any solution with me?

The router colleagues CANNOT connect to the optical fiber. You must have a fiber optic modem. A colleague from the operator will get it. It will probably also be equipped with a router (Funbox), if a colleague has a TV from Orange, it will be even difficult for a colleague to replace the operator's device with any other (but of course it will not be impossible).

I have.

You will get a nice funbox, you will see what the range will look like. If it is too weak, you will put your router in another part of the house, or you will turn off WiFi in the operator's device (if it is possible) and, after appropriate configuration, connect your router next to the operator's device.

I can only stay on the internet. Is it possible to connect my router to the fiber optic modem?

So first goes the fiber optic modem and then the fanbox or router?
Like now, I have a telephone socket first and then a router

Here I see that it is possible to connect a fanbox with a router via LAN, so I think I will

A colleague can connect his TPLink to a fiber optic modem or router (e.g. a funbox), but it will not always make sense (and the configurations for these devices may be different, e.g. by connecting to a funbox, you can configure a tplink as an access point).

HMMM
And in the fanbox there is sometimes such a thing as turning off WI-FI?
Then I would only use mine

I read about this funbox 3.0 and from what I found out it's not a total crap.
It can work on 2 bands 2.5ghz and 5ghz which is a big plus.
There are only no antennas, so does this translate into poor coverage?
If anyone has this equipment, please review it for me.
My main question is whether the range is good.

It is enough for one flat in the block.
May be too weak for a two-story house.
