The ONT has an RJ45 out port. This will connect to your house's main copper wire telephone box, which is how the old copper phone jacks throughout your house gets connected. You won't need to rewire all the phone jacks in your house.
There's a labelled photo in another thread that explains the wiring:
"Phone line exiting house" is the cable that goes (back) to the main phone box.
The only wiring involved will be:
- bringing the optical cable into the house and connecting it to the ONT
- connecting the ONT to your main phone box, via copper wire
In our case the fibre goes to a Nokia ONT (optical network terminal). The fibre is connected to one port and to other ports we have ethernet and telephone (POTS). The ethernet is connected to a T3200m router. There is no need for wifi.
