I would like to know if I can exchange Fizz's old model wifi 5 router to new one with WiFi6 capacity. Or I have to buy my own router thank you ?

    However there are not many devices that can use the standard yet but it's coming.

    802.11be offers up to 46 Gbps.

    You can buy your own router and set Fizz's modem to bridge mode.

    You can use any router you like but if you decide to use both routers you will need to look up how to set up the other in bridge mode or as an access point

    Do keep in mind Wifi5 and Wifi6 routers only offer the 2.4/5 Ghz band with 6 offering better performance.

    Only Wifi6e specifically will have the 6Ghz band if you are concerned about it.

    Wifi7 is new and you will pay the early adopters markup. Higher frequency bands don't travel through walls well.

    It's great to use your own router with the Wizz modem in bridge mode.
