Absolutely! Unless your ISP ignores connection details, they typically need to verify both credentials and hardware signatures for access. They should also assist in a quicker setup than what we're assuming you require.

They probably permit it, but I doubt it. It’s also possible you’ll run into the same issue with the other router at your parents’ place, especially if they can’t set it up. The ISP will likely take it back once the contract ends, making this a risky move overall.

I hold the router, but they only gave me their ONU. So, I think I should ask them what options are available.

Do you think so? Not asking for it doesn’t always mean it’s yours. In the UK, the ONU stays with the fibre provider, and you should leave it there even after moving or canceling the service. I’m not sure anyone has mentioned that their ISP allows them to use their own ONU. The only exceptions seem to be in certain places where the ISP uses an SFP ONU that can connect to any device without permission. It’s just simpler for the ISP to treat it as a demarcation point and let you use a broader range of routers or gateways. When an ISP offers a 2-in-1, your router usually has to switch to bridge mode, which makes it function more like an ONU again.
