i’ve never had Wifi outside of what’s provided by Xfinity. If I buy a Router from someone like Asus do I have to pay an ISP to provide wifi through that router?
And if that’s the case what are some good resources to find out what ISP works best for me?

The router takes your Internet connection and shares it on a WiFi network it creates, you do not buy WiFi from an ISP but you do need an ISP.
This is like asking “If I buy a refillable water bottle, do I still have to pay my water bill and turn on my faucet at home to fill it up?”
I guess you could connect over wifi from your device to your router…but if you want to access anything outside your home over the Internet, then you’d need an ISP…an Internet Service Provider.
