The ONT is separate from the router that Fidium Fiber provided. The ONT is a small powered box that has the fiber cable input and an ethernet cable that goes to the Adtran router. The only control for the Adtran router is through their mobile app, which is very little. Unable to connect a laptop to the router for setup.
My goal is to be able to see the 3 IP cameras from home and unable to do with the Adtran router. I will need to use my own router so that I can do port forwarding and add my host domain. Netgear makes it easy to do this. Also will save $10 per month if I use my own router. That's why I was looking at the Netgear AX5400 RAX50.

Makes sense.
Check the product pages. Then check the review sites for honest assessments. Remember that what you read here is likely to come from people with problems. The majority of happy campers have no reason to turn up here.
Look around for refurbished kit. Could save a bit.
"Last year's" model can also be a bargain.
