But even if they don't do autoconfiguration, the hardware itself does not exist. It has to be a router with a fibre input. It must have WiFi, support VoIP and have a phone output, and the typical ethernet outputs.
There exist a combination of ONT and Router, and my searches found it is a 500€ deployment! So pay that and risk it doesn't work any day.
With my ISP, they terminate the fibre at an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which has an Ethernet connection on it. While they provide a gateway that connects to that ONT, customers are allowed to connect anything they want, just as with the cable modem in bridge mode. In fact, if you get the 8 Gb service, they'll even toss in an unmanaged Ethernet switch, which in turn can be used with anything.
