A 2 part statement/question: I see these fancy new routers offering wifi 6,6e and 7 that support 10GB of speed per port ect… I don’t get how my 500mbs internet plan will be 50% faster (according to google) with a new router. Also I am unaware of any ISP providing 10GB of internet for standard consumers.

they aren’t really related.
Think of these as pipes. you have a 500mb pipe going to the internet, you have a 10,000mb (10gb) pipe for your wifi devices.
The large wifi pipe is shared amongst all your devices, so 10 devices means you have 1000mb of pipe capacity per device on average if every device uses the large pipe at the same volume.
but at the end, _all_ the devices share the same 500mb pipe to the internet.
Each individual wifi device has the potential to flood the small internet pipe, but they only share the faster speed between other uses of the larger pipe at the higher capacity.
