Home / Will fiber optic cable connected to a router cause lag

Users pay high in exchange for high speed fiber internet, but many still face issues, including buffering, lag, and poor WiFi. Is your router plugged directly into the ONT? Or is there a ISP provided "modem"/router in between your router and the ONT? Are you DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE? Can you direct connect 1 computer to the ONT for a while and see if it continues? Or use the ISP supplied router for a bit? Ether can eliminate. Ethernet cables that are worn out, damaged or not properly connected can slow down or interrupt your connection.
