WiFi 6 worth it for me?
I just upgraded our home internet service from my local cable providers tier 1 package, called Residential, to their tier 3 package, called Turbo. Went from 25mbps download up to 100mbps download. But playing online games, once their downloaded and installed, doesn’t really need high download speeds, am I right? They need low ping. Do these badass AX routers decrease the ping? Or would I only notice a difference if I had home internet service that offered crazy high mbps download, like bigger cities offer?

the pro gaming versions (xr versions) have prioritizations that can help reduce your latency.

I didn't notice much (if any) difference going from an AC router to an AX router. but all my gaming stuff was already hardwired and I'm on a gigabit connection so I've already did what I can do to reduce latency.
