    The RAX70 is a pretty solid router. Most 3rd party routers are going to be better than ISP supplied devices. But I always advise people to order from somewhere with a good return policy.

    Should work. You'll need to talk to the ISP about any specific configurations needed on the NH router so it can replace the ISP router. 

     

    Or you could use the ISP router, disable the wifi routers and net up the RAX router for wireless AP mode as an alternative configuration.
