ᐅ Fiber to the Home (FTTH) – Wi-Fi Router, Landline Phone, Computer

Hello, technicians in the forum.
I have the feeling that my electrician is not in control of the situation.
We have FTTH, fiber optic all the way to the house. Since yesterday, there has been a gray box installed with two tubes of fiber optic cables visible. I assumed this was the telecom provider’s equipment. I then watched their FTTH video. They will install a fiber optic modem next to the box. Correct? So far, so good. From the modem, it is then the electrician’s responsibility to continue the wiring. A cable runs inside the walls to my office, where a Wi-Fi router, landline phone, and PC are supposed to be set up. They installed a telephone socket in the wall, a TAE connector. But in the telecom provider’s help video, there is no telephone socket, only a network cable outlet, into which the router is plugged. Then the phone is connected to the router. Is that correct? If so, he still needs to change it.
Please clarify. Karsten

Thanks for some of the technical information. First, I now know that the cable was definitely installed as four-core. The network socket should work. Second, I don’t need to look at any contract because there isn’t one. Seriously, we built EVERYTHING based on a handshake and a documented scope of work. And it only states that the house will have a telephone connection in a room of our choice. That’s all. Karsten

Then the modem in the adjoining room is simply replaced with the new router-modem; what’s the problem? The new device doesn’t have to be used as an access point. It becomes the gateway, and that’s it.That’s true—in cases where there’s already an FTTH modem, you just install the router there. No problem at all.
But many people start complaining about why they need an access point or a second Fritz!Box, and why the router can’t just be placed in the office or living room. If you’re lucky, there’s an Ethernet cable or at least an empty conduit for an Ethernet cable to the access point.
If the router has previously been located in the office, connected via a two-wire line not installed in a conduit to the first telephone outlet (TAE), and now a CAT cable is needed there, that’s when the “cabling hassle” begins. You wouldn’t believe what I have seen in recent months.

Whether 2 x 2 without shielding will work well remains to be seen. Proper workmanship is definitely something else!

If the router was previously located in the office, connected to the first telephone outlet via a two-core cable that is not in a conduit, and now you need a CAT cable there, that’s when the “knitting” begins. You wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen over the past few months.No. Anyone with FTTH who has the router in the home office will automatically have the CAT cable to the office. If the modem in the utility room is now replaced with a "router-modem," then the CAT cable to the office is automatically available. By the way, the old router can still be used as an access point.
Or are you suggesting that the FTTH connection could NOW be in the home office but without a CAT cable? In my opinion, that’s not possible because the fiber optic cable MUST terminate in the connection room, at least with Telekom!

Network socket should work. I would strongly doubt that. Most modern switches/routers wouldn’t even detect such a cable.
