@aminorityofone I did similar too, switched to Verizon 5G wireless internet (using a 5G gateway as modem), it has WiFi capability but the ability to turn it off and has a pass through for the LAN so a separate router can be used, in my case, a wireless router from TP Link that gets the direct connection from the gateway, my desktop gets a wired connection, phone, only other wireless device for now takes up WiFi.
The TP Link router replaces the now 5+ year old netgear router that lost the desktop IP address and I could not get it to reconnect/reestablish that primary IP address so hence the replacement router.
The new router is better than the old one as one, its coverage is wider so now the back of the house gets a stronger signal (I live in a small house) and has NUMUU (?) so it does not bog down as much when more wireless devices are in use, of which the old router did not have. Works great and I get up wards of 2Gbps+ speeds down, upwards of 20Mbps up fairly consistent now with some upgrades to the network in my neighborhood.
