First, plug one end of the fiber optic cable into the transceiver and the other end into the fiber optic network. However, setting up a fiber optic connection to your router can seem daunting if you're unfamiliar with the process. The gateway connects directly to the fiber line, translating the fiber signals into digital signals that your devices can use via Wi-Fi or wired connections.
