I just bought some routers so I think I have a little clue.
I owned a FIOS router.  It was no good with my new ISP (Comcast).
Comcast wants you to lease their router, I wanted none of that.
It took me a couple of tries to find a router compatible with Comcast
the local PC Richards was no good, I had to order the router online.

I ended up with Netgear equipment.  Netgear has an app you can download
to your phone.  I just accessed the router from my Linux PC using a
browser.  Every router I've had so far has a browser interface.
