I don't have any experience fiddling around with UFB (can only get VDSL at my address) but a friend of mine is asking me about choosing a different modem for UFB from the one he will get from his ISP and, whilst I can talk to him about various WiFi options etc, I have no idea what I should be looking for in the specs to get something that will work with UFB, so I figured I would ask you guys here :-P
I think I may be totally confused as so many people (including the RSPs!) seem use the words 'modem' and 'router' interchangeably, but am I right in thinking that the ONT the LFC installs essentially is the modem for UFB? so all I really need is a router? If so, does that mean basically any current router will 'work' (even the cheapo $30-40 ones, albeit not optimally). So anything with a WAN port is compatible?
e.g.

Does the ISP he is with make any difference to that?
Does the LFC make any difference?
Thanks in advance.
