FTTH router: 5 models for high-speed Internet
With an FTTH router you can surf the fiber optic network faster than with any other router. Conventional routers can only pass on a fraction of the possible fiber speed. A fiber optic connection only works if you also have a fast router. We show you five models for high-speed Internet.
