XR700 FTTH SFP Module

[Kastlunger]

Hi friends.

In my village we have FTTH connection. And the best thing is that we can run it without any provider modem. Actually im using in my office a USG P4 with FTTH connection.

but now i got FTTH also at my house... So i wanna buy the XR700. Im planning to use the SFP Port as WAN Port to directly connect my fiber cable with the router. 

actually im using this SFP module from FS

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Here is a list of compatible modules, that's not to say others wouldn't work but these are confirmed to work.

ok thank. i would give it a try...

IF it works i would plan to buy 2 of the new Wifi 6 Aps from Netgear and a POE Router.

What do you think about the combi of XR700 and the insight switches?

I would suggest getting an unmanaged switch instead so that the XR can control all devices properly.
