When you need a bridge, you may like to use a simple media converter. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001709518778.html could be a good start (requires the SFP module complimentary to those your ISP uses). Small combo switch is also ok if you know how to configure 802.1q VLANs there.
Once you have the link, set up the hardware you'd use as a server / router / whatever. Inexpensive RPi4 with 4 or 8 Gb RAM would be a wise choise for the nearest 5...10 years.
If you need WiFi, you may buy a cheap Ralink RT5370 dongle and use hostapd:
