I spent a couple of hours last week trying to set up a fiber connection in our new office.
Since I didn't want to use consumer hardware in an office setting (and I already had a router that was compatible), I opted for getting my own hardware (a media converter).
I had _some_ prior knowledge of networking, but had never messed around with VLAN and MTUs before.
Luckily I found this[1] gist for a comparable setup that saved me.
I'm still only getting 350Mbps where I should be getting 1Gbps, but I _think_ that's just due to the bad networking chip in my cheap chromebook.
When I move all my stuff to the office, we'll see what we can top out at...
All this is to say, I definitely respect the effort the author put into this and it pains me to find out that my new SFP setup is already obsolete :).
