Hello everyone!
In the next few weeks, our FTTH connection will be activated by the telecom provider.
I received a fiber optic router from an acquaintance. It is not from the telecom provider!!
Unfortunately, I can’t find any option in the configuration to enter login credentials...
With FTTH technology, does the router automatically authenticate itself?
Or will the router not work with the telecom provider’s connection?
The router is a Genexis Platinum-7840 fiber optic router.

The 300 MBit is achievable with the VDSL modem of the 7530. Behind the fiber optic modem, the 7530 can do more.That’s why I’m saying, if you’re using the 7530, then use it as a router, not as a modem.
As I understand it, the modem will be provided by the telecom company, right?
So, I will need a router (which I can connect behind the modem) where I can enter the login details.
I have installed Devolo devices as access points (kudos to Rick!! For remembering that!).
According to the telecom provider, we can get up to 1 Gbps. However, we will stick with a 100 Mbps connection (possibly up to 250 Mbps). That will be sufficient for us!

@Tarnari please do not spread false information here. Everything has been clarified. The modem is provided free of charge by the telecom provider. However, you still need an FTTH router. There is also a list available directly on the telecom provider's website showing which ones are compatible.
My experience with the connection:
The cable comes from the multi-utility line to the telecommunications distribution box. A fiber optic termination outlet for the modem is connected to this box. The modem also requires a power outlet. Your router is then connected to the modem via an Ethernet cable.
We had not initially planned for an additional power outlet specifically for the modem, and the server cabinet was located several meters away. Fortunately, we were able to have the modem installed inside the server cabinet. Telecom providers usually have guidelines regarding the maximum fiber optic cable lengths allowed between the boxes.

Fiber optic runs can generally be up to around 20 km (12.4 miles) in length, so that likely wasn’t the issue. In any case, I would recommend using a standard router—ideally without Wi-Fi—and the ISP’s modem. This has the advantage of avoiding compatibility issues and allows Wi-Fi access points to be placed where they make the most sense, which is typically not in the house distribution box (HAR) or even the basement.
Separately, any current Fritz!Box can of course be used as a simple router, but I would only do this if you already have one.
