Some of Netgear nighthawk support fibre optics.
Generally fiber terminates in an ONT (“optical network terminal”) that gives you an ethernet internet connection, If the coop includes phone services, there might also be a phone jack.
Do you have something like that? If you do the nighthawk will work
