Modern routers often include fibre ports. You may need to adjust your settings on the new router to match your ISP's needs. The Bell router you have is connected via a fibre cable, so it should work. Just check if any changes are required once you install your own device. Let me know if you need more help!

Home routers don't support fiber directly. You'll need a modem to change it into a standard RJ45 cable. Your device is likely a modem and router combo, so you should purchase a separate modem from your ISP.

They are not modems, they are ONTs. You can't simply swap them out because of the GPON setup on them. If you want your own router, you can disable the subscriber gateway.

put your own (second) router behind them if you're worried about them accessing their equipment.. on the topic of buying a box that'll do fiber.. you dont have the money for a box that'll do fiber. technically i could plug gigabit fiber into my setup at home, but adding the required components for that.. we're already into 4-figure range, with no guarantee the stuff will even talk with your ISP¨.

Using our GPN network allows you to employ your own gear beyond the ONT. Setting the WAN to VLAN1000 comes with a condition—beyond the ONT everything is your responsibility. If you arrive with your own equipment, we simply verify the ONT and proceed.

Now that you consider it, the device doesn't support a media converter for the 1.5gbps internet plan.
