VODAFONE Broadband drop out and no internet, can I replace with 3rd party router

Hello I need some help.

I have just moved to the new house in Bracknell (Postal code RG12) on April with the VF Broadband FTTP 900 setup by Openreach engineer.  Initially it works fine on the 1st week, and then it suddenly  drop out without any internet on one Saturday, I use the VODAFONE app to test and it mentioned  the ONT is working  but problem with the connection to the internet. The engineer was arranged on next Monday and he reset the ONT and the router, after about half hours it resumed and I assume it is fixed and fine.

However, after several days, the  same problem  occurred again and is more frequently till now.

I suspect  there is some issue  with the router but it do not have many settings  to adjust which is customize by VF

Actually I have another router (Netgear mesh router), can I replace it and not using VF own one as I don't  need to use the digital voice even they setup one for me. The problem when I setup the Netgear router is that it requires  the PPPOE information  which I do not have any idea to retrieve.

The openreach approval thing harks back to the ADSL days, was kept for VDSL, but hasn't been updated. I guess the list is around 15 years old. You can't buy those router's today - well you can, but not new.

Ignore it. It's not valid today.

@BravoHKer Please look in the router log to see if there are any errors that may help us understand your situation.
