Options to add WiFi6 to my current CT8 setup

Sunday

I currently have two CT8's with one connected to my ISP supplied router which is set to modem mode. Really happy with this and have 30+ devices connected (CCTV, Microsoft server, Xbox's, TV's AV's etc).

The other day I was supplied with a new router from the ISP. Put it in to modem mode and all is well. But it got me thinking. The new router has WiFi6 ad the CT8 setup is WiFi5. I don't want to scrap the CT8 setup but are there options to add WiFi6 to my current CT8 setup. The IP CCTV's can be a pain to configure but they are stable now (I ended up using power adaptors for all but one).

Don't want to break the bank either (I could upgrade to XT8 or above) but are there any other option such as adding a compatible to the current AIMesh which could give me a separate Wifi6 (or 7) wireless SSID, or something like that?

ASUS routers typically mesh with older WiFi standard AiMesh routers.  You can do a couple of things:

You can turn the new router into router mode, then set the CT8 connected directly to that into Access Point mode with AiMesh.  (This would not cost anything).

You could purchase a newer ASUS router, set it up as router with ISP provided working as modem (only), then add the 2 CT8s as nodes.
