    Well if you can’t use the router to connect to the fiber, they maybe you can do this : Fiber > isp router > ethernet > custom router > devices.

    This would just add a slight negligible latency increase and maybe limit the max speed to the ethernet port, but you’ll get all the benefits of the second router.

    The second router having it’s DHCP network with it’s firewall.

      If they allow their router to be configured as a modem maybe. Else wise you would be behind double NAT for ipv4 and double firewalled for ipv6. This would be worse than everything else.
