I currently have my internet connection with Sunrise and we recently had fibre optic switched on. Now I want to set this up with my setup. I had a Fritzbox that acted as a router connected to my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, which controlled everything internally. Now I would like to replace the Fritzbox (as it doesn't support fibre either) and as I have read, the Dream Machine doesn't have its own fibre modem built in. My question now is, can I connect this device behind my OTO box and then connect it to my router with an RJ45 cable, making my UDM Pro act as a router. Furthermore, I should be able to access this router directly via port releases and preferably not have to configure anything (or as little as possible) on the modem.

Accepted Answer

So this media converter only works with 10GBps transceivers. You need one of these to convert the light from the optical fibre into an RJ45 signal. As far as I know, the UDM Pro also has two slots, which would make this media converter superfluous. However, beware that Sunrise may use XGSPON, which many routers do not support. You'll have to check with Sunrise, if they give out such information at all. 
I am currently using this media converter with Fiber7-X (i.e. 10GBps) with a transceiver that I ordered from init7 with a QHora 301W, and it works wonderfully. But a UDM Pro should make this box superfluous.
