Between the modem and the router, the ethernet protocol will dictate the speed, it will depend on the best speed both the modem and router can handle and successfully negotiate when you first plug in the cable.
between the router and your wifi device, the wifi connection is what dictates the speed, again both items need to have the latest technology, in this case wifi 6, to take advantage of it successfully, otherwise they negotiate the best alternative that they both support.
When you're trying to use your connection to get to the internet, let's say to download a big file, you will need all pieces to work properly and at their best speeds, if any segment from the ones described above is weak, it will be the limiting factor of how fast you can download that file.
For example, if you only subscribe/pay for a 200 mbps connection with your ISP, having a modem that can handle 5gbps or a wifi 6 router that can hand 1200mbps is not going to help you much, your speed to download that file will always be limited to 200 mbps.
There are many other scenarios where you could still use wifi 6 in-house even if your ISP connection is slow. I still think this gizmo @ $50 is a good deal, and might get it myself.

Either way, having wifi 6 is a definite upgrade over the router I got from Spectrum.

I'm not well versed in WiFi 6 knowledge so I appreciate your response! I've been eyeing WiFi 6/Mesh systems just because of coverage (2 story, 3k sq/ft home)

Not sure I will buy TP-link versus another brand, but am expecting 6e routers rollout to be relatively soon.

Affordable and by September I doubt we will see anything under $300 anytime in the next year!
