Can I connect an optic fiber cable to the Asus RT-N10E 150Mbps High Speed Wireless N Router Wi-Fi for an internet connec - Pete - 05-26-2014 09:43 AM
This is not the case where I'm using a broadband internet connection provided by BSNL India. Optic fiber cable is used instead of the phone line. Hope you understand the case because I don't have the knowledge to explain more. So please let me know. Thanks.

@ Everyone & Kristian. Thanks for your replies. I'm not familiar with the optic fiber connection. So I don't have a clue how others use their optic fiber cable for an internet connection. Will the converter effect broadband speeds?

It can be done, but not directly. Regular home routers only support copper network cables. They won't have a port for a fiber cable. What you need is a fiber to copper converter to plug the fiber in to and give you a copper port to plug in to your router. How do others use their service if they just give them a fiber cable?
