Netgear Router Suggestion for Fritzbox 7530.

Hi, can anyone please suggest a home router that is compatible with an existing Netgear EAX 20 used as WIFI extender? The router does not need to have more than one Ethernet port and must be fully compatible with VoIP calling.  ( This is to replace a Fritzbox 7530, which does not work with my Netgear extender )
