That doesn't mean you would need to place your WiFi router in the garage. An Ethernet cable could be run from the ONT to your router inside. You would need to check with NH BB about running the cable between the ONT and your router. They may charge extra for that, but you'd need check with them.

Are you going to be subscribing just to Internet and phone service? Does NHBB offer 'traditional' video services or just streaming?

If you are using coaxial cable from the exterior wall of your home to the router NHBB can connect this to the ONT. you do not need to rewire with Ethernet (CAT5 or CAT6), new coaxial cable, or fiber. I have Verizon fios at home wired with existing coax (old Comcast) from the ONT to the router and actually get better up & down speeds than I pay for.
