SR115 to SR203 hard wired to Google Wifi

I have recently been sent an SR203 router, my current router SR115 is hard wired to Google WiFi and is reasonably stable, is there any benefit to changing the router to the new one?

No WiFi is turned off and it's just being used as a modem and the Google WiFi is doing the mesh around the house

@cjroden1Only advantage would then be the 2 extra ports on the back or the SR203 unless you have also got VOIP calls or is this because you got broadband boost?

Just because of the the boost,is the modem hardware any better?

The chipset modem section of the SR203 is in fact slightly worse than ER110/ER115 on some broadband lines at speeds around the 40-50Mbps mark downstream, so it would serve no benefit in upgrading to the latest SR203 router unless using it for wireless which is where it benefits over ER110/ER115 Sky Hub.
