I use an older model Unifi router. The Verizon ONT unit (usually installed where Verizon enters the home) outputs to an Ethernet cable so any router should work so you’re not stuck paying for the ridiculous “Quantum Gateway”rental.

If I was shopping these days, I’d be looking at Wi-Fi 6e as it’s stupid fast and is built to handle tons of devices and interference: https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?q=6e+router&searcharea=deals&searchin=first

Interesting. Do they charge for ONT? My current router works fine and supports up to 300 Mbps

I don’t think so. I’m certainly not paying for it.

Here’s a photo of an ONT and power supply for reference: https://forums.verizon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/18337iD83570BD590A9D88/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=999
