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

As far as I know, there are nowadays excellent solutions to transmit your LAN through the house’s electrical wiring using additional devices. This could be much easier. This way, you can simply access the network throughout the entire house via any power outlet or place a Wi-Fi router in any room to keep the costs for additional devices low.

The adapters cost a lot of money. They also tend to work poorly in newer electrical installations, especially if there are multiple circuits with separate RCDs (residual current devices).

To musketier. I don’t think this has anything to do with saving money. It’s just the first FTTH installation for these guys in their lives. We are in SH. Here we often only have DSL up to 2000 max. That’s the everyday reality.That’s exactly where the problem lies. With regular FTTC (copper cable connection), it would have worked, because it goes from the telecom socket with 2 wires to where the router (with modem) is placed.
If your electrician really installed a 2 x 2 cable, then he should seriously consider whether some additional training might be helpful. I have wired a few DSL connections for acquaintances and always recommend something different – nowadays, you just don’t use anything other than CAT cables. That also applies for regular telephones!
