Switch from Cable WAN to Fiber WAN

Can you get ethernet to their ONT and go straight into your GT-AX6000, or you don't want to do that? Or bring the ONT into the house if there is an extra lenghth of fiber cable?

That's how mine is. Fiber line through the house, ONT inside the house straight into ethernet and into my GT-AX6000.

Well that would be preferable/ideal but I only have coax throughout the house. Thought about wiring cat 6 ethernet but a lot of work/expense and don't really need to with MoCA. Frontier connects the ONT to existing coax cable into house and then in master bedroom closet hub they connect MoCA adapter with ethernet to their Eero router/modem. Pretty much the same as Spectrum cable. I take the entrance point, connect POE filter to entrance point and splitter and split to two routers (main router is also split with cable modem). I have coax cable running through the house. Frontier installer said they only connect to existing cable>MoCA>Eero. They don't do anything else and they don't allow splitting (bs).
