Quote As this is only for fibre I have edited the title accordingly
The router is WAN technology agnostic - it is no more for fibre with a fibre modem than it is for ADSL with an ADSL modem, or for cable with a cable modem for that matter.
Perhaps the subject should be 'If anyone wants to upgrade their modemless router...'!

I think though that one sometimes has to be picky as otherwise not doing so is often the very cause of confusion!

Seeing as it's picky-day, all routers are modemless.

A router is merely a device that forwards packets between two or more networks. In the case of routers with modems built-in to them these networks would usually be a LAN and a WAN. In the case of that the OP pointed to it is between two wired LANs (with a wireless LAN bridged to one of them) and hence would be unsuitable for connection directly to a WAN without a dedicated modem.

Ordered one!
Just had fibre installed, and not overly impressed with the technicolor router.

It's ok as a spare though (or a doorstop).
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Quote from: Strat Then it would be a modem/router often referred to as a gateway.
[picky]Gateways usually incorporate a switch, (or a hub in some older or cheapo ones), within the housing. Single lan-port routers are rare these days.[/picky]
