Using LAN cables with Full Fibre

[#1]

I have signed up for Full Fibre installation and have some questions.  I understand that I will need a new kind of router. Will I be able to use LAN cables with this new kind of router?   Currently I run a LAN cable to my laptop from the router and a very long LAN cable to the TV so that I do not need the WiFi switched on. (I prefer not to use Wi-Fi.)    Currently, if I need to switch the WiFi on and off, I can do that through the Hub Two Manager. Will this all be the same with the Full Fibre router? 

Also if I find at some point in the future I need a medical alarm, can this be done at a later date - that is after I will have had Full Fibre installed and have no landline?

Thank you

@sheilajlister Yoiu do not need a different router - the HUB2 is perfectly capable, and is in fact the one used for FTTP..

The only change will be that your Hub will be connected to the 'outside world slightly differently - via the ONT (Optical Network Termination) rather than via your master socket.

As regards medical alarms, these are now (or should be) independent of a 'landline' - they are connected to monitoring stations via a SIM card over the mobile networks.

You may find some information here: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/full-fibre-faqs/ , but if you need more, we are always ready to help.

BTW - Who said you need a new/different router?

Probably PN as if youve been on ADSL or FTTC long enough you might predate hub 2 although in op case they already mention hub 2

@njay The OP states she already has a HUB2 - which should be on PN's records.

@sheilajlister 

Whilst you do not need a new router, you will need another LAN cable to connect the router to the new ONT. This replaces the DSL cable that you currently use.

Good point, @Baldrick1  - I forgot to mention that.
