I'm on a 600/300 FTTH Connection.  My ISP uses VLAN 1000 from the ONT.  I don't need multiple VLAN's as I'm running only a handful of devices 3xPC's, 2x laptops all hardwired , 2x tablets x wireless, TP-Link Deco M4 (3 station mesh) all hardwired and couple of cell phones to a 16 port Cisco swtich (unmanaged).

I am wanting to remove the ISP router (ActionTec) and I am thinking I can just go

ONT->FWP (WAN VLAN 1000), FWP (LAN Default VLAN) to swtich?  I do have a mesh wifi (Deco M4) plugged into the switch using ethernet backhaul.  Is this the way to go our should I do I need a managed switch as well?

  Without a need to segregate devices from one another, the unmanaged switch will work fine. I agree that you should be able to replace your ISP’s router with the FWP, as well.
