Will this router/cable support fibre optic

by owils0n . Updated 5 years, 9 months ago

I’m currently moving into a student home with some friends and we have bought a fibre optic package. They have sent us a Hitron CGNV4-FX4 which according to this site (https://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/help-and-advice/products-and-services/hitron-router-guide/) supports up to 500 mbps which seems like more than enough. However the port on the back says ‘COAX Cable’ and when I looked it up it says this type of cable only supports 10mbps. Does a fibre optic cable fit into the same port or is fibre optic not compatible with this router?

The lack of documentation for this model has been a real pain. The manual this type of router is here (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1200162/Hitron-Cgnv4.html?page=9#manual) however it seems that this manual is for the CGNV4-BIZ) I’m really lost and just need some help from someone who knows networking
