TP-Link Archer BE700
ARRIS SURFboard G20
The TP-Link Archer BE700 is a more capable standalone router than the ARRIS SURFboard G20. The TP-Link boasts Wi-Fi 7 technology, a 6GHz band, higher peak speeds, a 10Gbps WAN port, and a wider selection of Ethernet ports for stronger wired utility. The ARRIS is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem/router combo, so it makes more sense if you're looking for a single device to power your cable internet setup. The G20 also offers slightly lower latency and a slimmer design, but its gigabit-limited ports and lack of 6GHz support make it a weaker router than the TP-Link.
