Yes it is a huge jump from wifi 6 and 6E but its not worth the wait for people who are on a budge but still want the best possible.
I had the same issue with being on a 1Gbps plan. They did a free "upgrade" to 1.2Gbps and stopped provisioning my modem correctly. No amount of tech support could figure it out and they wouldn't admit they screwed up.
My speeds shot down to 400Mbps max, so I cancelled and got fiber rather than continue going in circles with them.
You need to call them up, have them check the provisioning, and confirm that the 8210 is still on the "supported" list for the plan you have.
Do a speed test (do NOT use their test or speedtest.net, as they have rigged those with prioritization tricks) by downloading a large file or using speedof.me (they aren't able to rig this one).
If your speeds are still terrible with the tech on the phone and they claim your signal is fine, have them send someone out to check the performance at the tap. Keep in mind the hardware they give the field guys is also somewhat rigged as it can do a lot of things your modem can't and isn't provisioned for any certain speed. It's going to give back maximum potential readings and most of the field guys will just slap the side of it and call it a day while looking cocky.
If your line to the premises is fine, you're back at square one with the modem, but now you have them doing a bunch of finger pointing at the modem being defective.
At this point, you can either try a different modem that they certify is "supported" or force them to downgrade your plan. If you play it right, you might get them to credit you for the difference on the months you've already paid for.

I would only point out that in order for wifi 7 to be useful, you'd need wifi 7 devices, are any even out right now? (forget about routers yet). It would take a few years before said devices become commonplace, nevermind the routers drop in price to at least more reasonable pricing (and then the whole "slickdeals" sales).
Unless wifi7 promises significant coverage/range/speed or security enhancements I don't really see the value in waiting.

Wifi 7 also has technologies built in to fight congestion so it will improve existing coverage, but it does nothing for range.
There is a new standard called Wifi HaLow which currently is not in use on anything in the USA. For people who want coverage over multiple acres HaLow uses the 900Mhz frequency but can send a signal over a mile and still provide a connection. The downside the connection at that far range will probably only be around 100-150Kbps, at close range the best you could get from HaLow is around 80Mbps. It makes it a perfect match for low power IoT devices and smart devices that need wifi access around your property though. So when time comes to buy a wifi 7 device wait for it to have the wifi HaLow standard incorporated as the current routers do not have it.
Ahh maybe I should have waited after all. I really want to try wifi 6e to minimize quest latency.

What am I missing here? I want to buy it (this is SlickDeals) but not seeing major improvement for $230.

So...no. Not missing anything.
I say wait for 10 coz by then you're gonna wanna wait for the 12. That's a slickest deal for savings alone.
