addtocart Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 My old modem was showing signs of trouble, so I went on Mercado Libre and ordered a new one. Turns out I ordered a fiber optic modem. It has the jack for the phone line to plug into, and also a skinny one for the fiber optic which I don't have. Seems like it should work with the phone line plugged in, but no. The "internet" light does not light up and the laptop can't find it. Is this thing supposed to work with or without fiber optic or did I just waste 12 bucks. That's American, so it's pretty serious money. BTW, I know it's supposed to be "fibre". I'm not French. Anyhow, anyone has experience with this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 A fiber optic modem is just that. Won't work for wired installation. You need a regular modem. You ordered the wrong one. Mercadolibre has a free return policy. You should only be out time not money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
