Replacing a Verizon router with Unifi WiFi Quality Question

[Velvis]

I am going to replace an older Verizon Fios Router (The thin black model, I think its a Quantum). Which is currently used as the only WiFi access point in a small office of 3-4 users without issue.

Do the cloud gateways perform just as well as the dream routers?
Which is the better choice?

The differences are in the details...
*Throughput
*Amount of clients it can handle
*Some have wifi built in, others don't.

Many offices...I use access points throughout the office, ceiling mount, wall mount, in wall mount, shelf top....and I have the network distro located where I don't need wifi..so I don't need a Unifi gateway with built in wifi there. Typically more powerful models don't have built in wifi because...they're designed to be connected to a switch(es)...with multiple APs behind them.

It's possible that the VZ ONT will not work with a third party router. Especially on a Business Account. Ran into that several times years ago when VZ was rolling out fiber Internet. Had to leave the VZ router in place and in bridge mode then attach the 3rd party router. Of course you just turn off WiFi on the VZ router.

Serious question with no snark: Why?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. All the more so because by the time it might break, the fix will be different (and probably better).
