In search of the perfect fiber optic router - recommendations needed

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for routers that have both a fiber optic cable connection to the WAN and one or two fiber optic connections for the LAN. Can anyone suggest some good options or a website where I can find more information on this topic?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for your reply. This router costs around 400€ in my area and has additional 9x RJ45-Ports - do you know any alternative which has less Ethernetports but is cheaper?

I don't know of any cheap options that include 2x SFP Ports.

Mikrotik has the RB5009 if you can live with only one.

Thanks again to the 2 Lemmy users who responded to my request for a router with 2 SFP ports! Apart from the mentioned options: The solution would be for a home office that would require not only FTTH (fiber-to-the-home), but also FTTD (fiber-to-the-desk). Is this requirement really so rare or so niche? Are there (still) so few people who use an FTTD solution?
