Router setup with a gamer in house (alien.top)

I am starting to build out my home network. My step dad does a lot of gaming and relies on fast internet. I want to switch out our router with a topton mini pc running opn sense. He wants to get a better and faster Asus gaming router. Is the speed increase on one of these "gaming routers" really that much? And is there some ways to compromise? I dont need extremely fast internet but i of course like it, but i would sacrifice some speed for security and self host features.

Can you run your own network downstream the gaming router?

Double nat so you have your own stuff running behind your security stuff which is behind the main router your stepdad uses.

He gets his priority routing and you get your security stuff
