Any router should work as long as it has a Gigabit WAN (Internet) port. Only note I will add is, be aware that most mesh systems will struggle to deliver a full Gigabit wirelessly. Try to use Ethernet wherever possible, and connect any mesh systems together using a wired connection between the nodes (Ethernet or MoCA are good choices).

Without television service, most routers should work. Before switching to Verizon's routers and extenders, we used Linksys routers in our house without any issues.

Slight tiny correction to what was said to be correct.

Without television service, most RJ-45 WAN port NAT routers should work.

This is important as not all NAT routers have a RJ-45 WAN port. This includes but is not limted to DSL modem (ex Actiontec GT784WNV) combos, Cable modem combos (ex NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900), SAT NAT routers, Cell Phone NAT routers.
