Try to match the chipset of what you buy to the chipset inside your cabinet. Eg. Huawei cab with broadcom chipset or ECI cab with Lantiq chipset. There are lots of posts online detailing how to find out. Sorry I don't have any to hand right now.
The TP link above has a broadcom chip I believe whereas the others are Lantiq.

I've no experience personally of the DM200 I'm afraid , there's a kb here for setting it bridge mode https://kb.netgear.com/30773/How-to-set-DM200-into-bridge-modem-only-mode.
The only problem I've had with the W9970 is that it looks awful!!

If you can get an HG612 they are robust and just works perfectly. I put the hacked firmware on it, it never drops the connection, works flawlessly and stable.
