Hi HN. I'm living in Africa right now, and in my particular city, all of the home internet is fibre. Specifically, each and every apartment/home gets an actual fibre line that comes in and terminates in some sort of Huawei/other-chinese-brand WiFi router.
Examples:
https://e.huawei.com/en/products/enterprise-transmission-access/access/onu/echolife-eg8145v5
http://www.fiberhome.com/en/industry/product/products/552.aspx
I do not trust Chinese hardware that connects to the internet, so I want to purchase my own device.
I am having trouble, though. Looking on US Amazon I can find almost nothing and the little that I do find, is Chinese. It seems as though Netgear, Linksys, etc do not make hardware that connects directly to fibre.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I feel like I'm not typing in the right thing, or looking in the right place. Surely there must be some sort of fibre->ethernet-jack hardware out there, to which I can connect to my own WiFi router (preferably running OpenWRT or something), right? I remember when I lived in the US, there were a zillion "cable modem/cable modem-router" options on Amazon.
I managed to find only this https://www.d-link.co.za/product/dpn-101g/ but I can't find out where to buy one. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Dang. 2021 and Africa is still a country. I don't mean to attack the title but it immediately primes readers with some unfortunate narratives about the continent vs say "I'm living in ${COUNTRY} right now"
