Where to find the fiber optic settings panel

The fiber optic settings panel is typically accessed via your router's admin interface or a dedicated app, while the physical fiber connection is managed through the ONT or SFP module.Physical ConnectionMost fiber internet setups use an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) provided by your ISP. The fiber optic cable from the wall outlet connects to the ONT, which converts the optical signal into Ethernet for your router . Some routers, like the FRITZ!Box, may require an SFP plug-in module to connect directly to the fiber line . Ensure the fiber cable is securely connected to the ONT or SFP module, and avoid bending the cable or touching the ends .Accessing the Settings PanelRouter Admin Panel:Connect a device to your router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).Log in using your credentials (default is often admin/password unless changed).Navigate to Network, WAN, or Internet Settings to configure fiber connection type (PPPoE, DHCP, or static IP), ISP credentials, and other parameters .Mobile App:Some ISPs provide apps (e.g., HKBN Home Gateway app) to manage fiber settings remotely.Open the app, log in, and access Internet Settings to update ISP profiles, enable/disable services, or adjust network modes .Tips for Optimal SetupEnsure the ONT or SFP module is powered on and the status lights indicate a stable connection .Update router firmware to maintain compatibility and security .Use quality Ethernet cables to connect the ONT to the router and avoid bending fiber cables .For routers with multiple functions (Wi-Fi, telephony, smart home), select your ISP in the router interface to enable all features . By combining the physical connection via ONT/SFP and the software interface via router admin panel or app, you can fully access and manage your fiber optic settings.
