Hello everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for routers that have both a fiber optic cable connection to the WAN and one or two fiber optic connections for the LAN. Can anyone suggest some good options or a website where I can find more information on this topic?

Thank you in advance for your help!

    I’ve been extremely happy with my UniFi gear. It has 2 SFP+ ports.

      Thanks for your reply. This router costs around 400€ in my area and has additional 9x RJ45-Ports - do you know any alternative which has less Ethernetports but is cheaper?

        The only other good brand, that has fiber, is accessible for home use, that I am aware of, is TP-Link’s “Omada” line of business routers. Unfortunately, they seem to only be marginally cheaper than UniFi.

        If you end up finding a cheap fiber router, let us know

        Edit: you might be able to build a fiber router cheaper if you got ahold of an old PC, bought the right PCIe card for some fiber ports, and used something like OPNSense or OpenWRT but I’ve never looked into it
