RB5009 newbie help

Hello!

I just got a RB5009 (poe version) and I was looking up how to best setup my network. I don't have many lan devices but I do have a few computers usually running.

I use Verizon for my ISP and I only have 1 gigabit internet.

My router from them is Cr1000A.

What I would like to do if possible is swap the routers flat out. Can I do this with just using the ethernet off of my ont? Releasing my lease first of course.

Additionally if possible I would love to use the Verizon router just for wireless connectivity. This isn't a deal breaker but would be a big plus.

Of course anything that I do I would like to not severely handicap my speeds and would like the most control to implement a better network at home.

Everything I've seen about swapping out the routers deals with the SFP port which I know extremely little about 😅

Thanks to anyone for any advice!

Cheers!
