Is there any kind of device that can expand a single fiberoptics broadband port on the wall into multiple ports? Like a router, basically. But a router seems to alter the signal. I need a device that purely splits the signal without altering it.

Is there something like that?
I need to hook up a router, which refuses to work unless its directly plugged into the wall. But because of certain issues, I need to find a way to connect more than one router to that fiberoptics port. (Connecting a second router into the first one is not an option.)

What is your end goal here, why can't you just get a router with more ports on it for example, what is the specifics of needing to have 2 routers on one line? not that you can't do that anyway, you can very easily have one router followed by another just with features like DHCP turned off on the second one. Is this a case if you are trying to split a single connection into two exactly down the middle with house mates over bandwidth sharing issues? if so there is better ways of doing this.

 

Edit - you are probably mistaking terms Router and modem here btw, if you are using it at the demark point it is most likely a modem+router you have and not just a straight up Router.
