Oh Geez.

Let's just get this right please guys.

1) The white box against the wall, is nothing more than a SPLICE tray. The cable from outside your home goes in there, it is spliced to a connector, and the little yellow cable plugs into it.
2) The other side of the little yellow cable, plugs into the ONT. The Optical Network Terminator unit, converts the data from the Fiber, into Ethernet - it is a bridge, it is transparent. That is the little white box above the black box, which LaxyLion posted.
3) Your broadband ETHERNET router, connects via ETHERNET cabling, to the ONT unit. :D

The Draytek with a "EWAN" port, will more than likely work. EWAN presumably would stand for something like "Ethernet Wide Area Network". So yes, Draytek to ONT, ONT to Fiber cable.

Hopefully, that clear things up a little bit.

How is that different to anything I said?
