Does any router work with any internet provider?
Any router will not work with any ISP (Internet Service Provider) because it has to be compatible with the internet connection type offered by the ISP. For example, if your old provider uses a DSL line and your new router supports a broadband connection, the two will be incompatible.
Can I use a different router than the one provided by my ISP?
Plain and simply; you can replace your ISP provided router with your own one. You might want to look into getting a router that supports dual bands, or one that supports the new wireless standards. It all depends entirely on what you want your router to do for you.
