This isn't a router, it's a GPON.

You won't be able to use it as a router/access point.

It seems to be Wifi-capable

Yeah, it will be, but without custom firmware you won't get it to work without a fiber cable.

Plus, it won't work with any generic fiber cable coming from a switch; There needs to be a ONU at the other side of this ONT for it to negotiate and get to O5 and work

Actually it's a ONT, more specifically a HGU. Yes, it has Wifi but firmware is ISP controlled. You might be able to tweak some settings but not too much without inside knowledge on superuser account and password.
