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.

If you like the gaming features of the XR router and how it works, keep it. You could keep the XR router going and if you want better featured wifi, you could get into something WiFi 6 or 6E and configure this system for AP mode and connect it to the XR router, Then shut off the XR wifi radios and use the newer wifi system for your wifi needs while keeping the router portion of the XR going.
