  • Do wireless fiber optic connections still require a router

    Do wireless fiber optic connections still require a router

    While fiber internet doesn't require a modem, you still need a router to distribute the connection across your network. Your router works hand-in-hand with the ONT, taking the internet signal and spreading it wirelessly or through Ethernet cables to all your connected devices. The short answer to this question is that you do in fact still need a modem to work with fiber internet. Think of the ONT as a high-tech bridge between your ISP and your internal network – but engineered specifically for fiber's unique data. A modem is a device that accesses the Internet, bringing Internet signal from an Internet service provider (ISP) to a location with either a wired or wireless connection. Simply put, modems establish Internet connections in homes. In some cases, as with Spectrum, modems can also support Voice.
