Like Ioannis, I control my own LAN and isolate it from the "LAN" of the
ISP-provided device.
I currently have an Ubiquity EdgeRouter and its WAN port is the only thing
connected to the ISP-provided device.
I set the ISP-provided device into bridge mode (if I can't I have my ISP do
it).
When this is complete, my EdgeRouter WAN directly faces the Internet (gets
an Internet routable address).
I have the EdgeRouter set up as a DHCP server on the LAN side and have all
incoming and outgoing routes denied by default.
I add rules to allow only what I want in and out of my network.
I also have the ability to support VLANs for IoT devices that I don't want
on my LAN - they get a separate VLAN
Set up like this, my entire LAN operates within the LAN even when the ISP or
the WAN goes dark.

Thank you.
I have some reading and then some thinking to do.
Have already been looking for 2 routers (I like to carry a spare so
that when one
dies that I have a replacement to hand).
When thinking is completed if I have questions I will be back at you.
Thanking you for your assistance.
