A:AnswerThe ASUS RT-AC67P is a dual-band wireless router that supports AC1900 Mbps speed. It does not have a built-in fibre optic modem, so you will need a separate device to connect it to your fibre optic internet service provider. You can use the router's WAN port to connect to the modem's LAN port with an Ethernet cable.
