Our go to router would be any of the asus rt ax wifi 6 routers . They can both replace the sky hub or act as access points along side the sky hub. 

 

P.s. you should see a huge improvement with you new pci-e card.

A wireless standard 802.11ax wireless standard 6 isn't likely to help with playing games on Xbox Series S/X over wireless as they only support the wireless 802.11ac standard 5.
