Surely, one of you fine folks has a better solution to attach a spare fan to an ISP gateway without damaging it? (sh.itjust.works)

In the US at least, I haven't heard of a provider not allowing you to bring your own hardware. For example, on Comcast, you can bring your own DOCSIS 3.1 modem that isn't as full of software and doesn't allow neighbors to use an Xfinity public network. Comcast even has a page for compatible devices. Save on stupid rental fees.

That's true for cable, but I haven't found it to be possible with fiber.

I’m in Europe and I once asked the support and they said I cannot connect without at least using their router as a modem (in bridge mode).

So I could use my own router for my home network but would have to connect it to their provided one.

I was curious if there was some hack to make it work without their shitty provided one.
