How to connect two set-top boxes when connecting to Rostelecom via GPON?

I apologize for the possible confusion in terminology, I swim a little in networking technologies.
I plan to connect to Rostelecom via GPON in St. Petersburg.
I want to use my WiFi router, not Rostelecom's (I'm looking at Keenetic Giga, dear really, dog).
As far as I know, Rostelecom installs an optical terminal (socket) Huawei HG8120H.
An optical cable is inserted into it and at the output we have 2 LAN ports: 1 Gbps (Internet) and 100 Mbps (iptv).
The Internet port can be configured in bridge mode.
I am going to connect the WAN port of the WiFi router to the LAN port of the optical terminal with a cable so that the Internet can be earned on devices connected to the wifi router.
And now a question about television.
In the case of one TV, there are no questions: the set-top box is connected via twisted pair to the second LAN port of the optical terminal.
And in the case of two TV set-top boxes, what connection scheme is possible? I want to connect set-top boxes by wire, and not by some other technology. Do I need to connect an additional switch to the LAN (iptv) port of the optical terminal to connect 2 TV sets or can I do without it?
Can a WiFi router act as both a router and a switch?

I have 2 TVs from RosTelecom and an Internet, I put a regular 100Mbps switch on IpTV, and wired it to 2 set-top boxes, everything has been working for the 3rd year. There is a separate contract for each set-top box, but the 2nd set-top box is considered additional equipment (I bought it myself) an additional payment of about 90 rubles.

Most likely, just buy an ordinary 5 porter like DES-1005C and insert any attachments into it.
Naturally, each prefix has its own contract / additional agreement.
I don’t know the realities of the RTK, but perhaps for those who have several consoles, they give HG8245H or something like that.
