Presently, I have an Arris TG1682G modem with Xfinity. My internet package is 60/5 mbps. Should I buy an Airport Extreme if I plan to increase my internet package?
Currently, I have 10 internet connected devices and plan to acquire 4-5 more.

Improvement in performance will come from a faster speed plan from your provider. The current router that you have will handle up to about 1,000 Mbps connections according to the specifications of the product.
No need to look for a new router unless you are looking for special features which your current router does not provide.
So, if you might compare speed plans of 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 300 Mbps for starters. Not sure if Xfinity offers higher speed plans.

Thanks again! I will compare the speeds offered at higher tiers and see if there is an improvement in performance. I appreciate your help.
Hi Bob, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your help. I will look in another direction for improvement in performance.
Adding an AirPort Extreme will not result in any improvement in performance, if that might be what you are looking for.
The only reason to consider the AirPort would be that if it had a special feature that you need that was not available on other routers.
