Get the new Nokia WiFi 6 ONT.
But keep in mind that it is locked down asf so you won't be able to modify any settings.

Is this router a better one? - Nokia AOT4221NK

Nearly all of the ISP routers are junk grade. In any case, you would not likely get a choice anyway. I made a fuss about getting only a Nokia ONT, even checked with the local tech guy who promised he would send me a Nokia, the installation guy came with a genexis. When I complained, he said take it or leave it. It eventually failed and this time they replaced it with a ZyXEL AOT5221 (Wifi 6) or something. I replaced it with a VSOL ONT and been happy ever since.

I have got this router - ZyXEL PMG5617-R20B recently and facing wifi drops and also 200-350ms latency for public DNS 8.8.8.8, I have requested one of the Airtel Tech Guys to replace the router with "Nokia AOT4221NK" (They have this device in stock) not sure if it was right move
