Do you have cable or dsl? I know those 2 require a modem and a router(if you plan on adding a second pc). Fiber optics only requires a device called an ONT which translates the light signal from optical to digital and then you can plug the CAT5 cord from it directly into your pc or into a router(or even a switch I believe).

Every router I received from Verizon could not handle MJ12 but a pc-based pfSense firewall(based on OpenBSD) is like comparing a Ferrari to a Lada, blows it out of the water Most routers/modems are incredibly underpowered(weak cpu/low memory) but then again they weren't made in mind for MJ12
your fiber makes me hate yoy . You do not even need modems , thats amazing. I have both dsl and cable. Both have modems and get stuck very often.
