Thanks for the reply! What would you recommend me to do? I don’t think I have many 6E Device's in my house hold. And my main setup will be plugged into Ethernet. Should I just go with my XR500 or go to the Spectrum router.

Is spectrum charging you for their router?
I don't have spectrum but I though their modems were free but they charged for the routers.
If it costs $, the XR500 is still a pretty solid router and I'd probably stick with it.
If its free, you can always try the new router and see how it works
