Just for fun I connected my old WiFi router to see what improvements I might get. It has a longer range (into the garage) but I didn't notice any increase in wireless speed. Since the speed I am getting now is sufficient for my needs, the router is back in the box.
Note: Certain gaming platforms or large data manipulations could certainly benefit from higher speeds. If I ever use one of those then I might consider spending more money.

No one was speaking to you directly, and we do not wander around your house, so we cannot answer why you would need more. But for those who have multiple cameras, several people streaming at once, or many other reasons, they do have needs greater than 20mbs. And the OP was providing you an easy way to get the speeds for which you pay (for whatever reason you choose to pay for it) with your existing wiring (mostly) not trying to get you to upgrade to 700 mbs.
