depends on what kind of fiber you get. GPON with BiDi(simplex, one fiber) ?

In addition, it also depends on your ISP. Some will let you replace their ONT with your own equipment, some will not. That will somewhat affect your potential equipment and configuration choices. How much WiFi coverage are you looking at? A small apartment or flat? A large dwelling in the hills with detached spaces? Is it replacing an existing network such as cabling, switches, etc or as an addition, with router/firewall, ONT, WiFi being the only additions?

AT&T Fiber, for instance, requires you use their gateway, the BGS320. But you can enable an "IP passthrough" mode to send everything to your preferred router in your network.

There are ways that people have tried to spoof AT&T into using their router and bypassing the AT&T box entirely, but I haven't had to bother. The IP Passthrough method is good enough.
