The only possible passive benefit you would see with a newer router, is faster 2.4ghz speeds as the antenna designs have improved and people who would pull 40Mbps can now pull 100-120Mbps even with older 2.4ghz devices in some cases.
So overall unless you have a lot of 2.4ghz devices that you want to get better speeds on, or you have a ton of wifi 6/7 clients you wont really need to ugprade because you wont benefit from the speed increases since your ISP is limited to 300mbps. Unless you use in network streaming in which the faster speeds would allow you to take advantage of things such a NAS box streaming to multiple clients in your house.

My TP Link AC4000 seems to work perfect for my needs in a 2,300 sf home with 4 floors. And you can find this unit for as cheap as $40 used on FB marketplace or ebay.
I don't feel I need Wifi 6.
I pay for 300 down and 300 up and I am very happy with that speed. And I get those speed through my wifi TP Link AC4000.
Just need to understand why I would want to upgrade? When my current situation is good.

And from what I get is that when you turn this on it will boot up thirty seconds faster but besides that I don't understand the benefit.
