My ISP provides an ONT and wireless router. It takes some convincing, but they will put their router in bridged mode, which disables all the routing and Wi-fi stuff so you can manage your own network. If you have a VLAN capable router you can connect directly to the ONT. In those cases they will indeed not support anything more than a single Ethernet connected computer.

I’m not sure how that’s affected if you also get their home phone or cable/streaming service since that’s all delivered over the same fibre drop.
