I would agree the router could be faulty and I will check that for sure. However, it was working just seconds before shutting it down and connecting it to the new ONT.

If you can test it at a different location, would be telling. Anything could have happened in between last connection and new connection with ONT.

- ONT appears to be an ADTRAN SDX622v
I am currently connected by cat6 directly to my computer and getting internet immediately upon connection with no interruptions.
If I do have to buy a new router (it seems more likely now), do you have a suggestion for multi gig speeds? Residential use, 30+ individually connecting wifi devices, gaming computers, mulitple 4k streaming tv's.

How big is the home?
RAX120 and 200 and RAX300 and 500 have multi gig WAN ports.
If you want something MESH, Orbi 8 and 9 series have multi gig WAN ports, 9 series has 2.5Gb LAN port.
Gaming, XR1000 comes to mind.
