You can transform your fiber signal into an Ethernet connection using a modem or adapter provided by your ISP.

The router you discovered only accepts RJ45 connections, while your ISP's new device uses fiber. You'll need to convert the fiber signal into an RJ45 format before connecting it to the new router.
It's best to avoid this unless the initial router is set to bridge mode (which you'd activate before connecting the second router). This creates a double-NAT setup. Even with ISPs moving to CG-NAT, it might still lead to complications. If you have a public IP address, double-NAT can cause problems with certain online games. There are workarounds for single devices, but they're costly and complicated. Ideally, all telecom providers should offer bridge mode, though many don't.
I completed my study and the ISP uses cgnat. Will the approach described function since the initial router lacks bridge mode?
Absolutely, expanding the range would help, plus the ISP router currently offers limited options for tweaking and customization—I’d really appreciate having more flexibility.
Relies on the capabilities, but with an ISP router many aspects become less important since they depend on NAT functions like port forwarding. QoS could help (though if your connection exceeds 300Mbit or more, most routers won’t manage it; gigabit might not be necessary), though the primary router may reduce its impact due to added buffering. A stronger Wi-Fi connection is usually preferable and often the main reason. If needed, consider a second router with an Access Point mode or a dedicated AP for better performance. Avoid adding more NAT unless there’s a clear need. What features were you considering?
