Talktalk Huewei HG533 use on PN fibre?

[#1]

I have ordered an upgrade from PN copper broadband to PN fibre. I have a PN modem/router on its way, but I happen to already have a Talktalk Huawei HG533 combined copper/fibre unit. Will this work with PN please? 

I'm thinking to set the HG533 unit up as a standby unit and maybe have a go at the modified firmware in the PN unit, if I can make sense of the thread in this forum.

This link indicates the HG533 should work on Plusnet https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Configuring-talk-talk-router-to-work-on-plusnet-internet/td-...

Sorry guys, my error!

The cardboard box said HG533, but the actual modem is marked as a Talktalk DSL-3780. It has a port on the rear marked DSL then a red port marked fibre.

Does the same apply in that it can be configured to work with PN Fibre?

Assuming yes - I notice the red port is wider/ has more pins than the dsl port, what sort of patch lead might I need from the red port to the phone socket please?

I'm afraid that won't work directly with Fibre. The red port is a WAN(Ethernet) port not a DSL port. You would need to connect it via a Fibre modem.

@harrym1byt Which PN Fibre product are you moving too.

I presume it's FTTC as the only one currently available.

Fibre, as in copper for the final leg down the street from the green box..
