Q: Can this router just be used for other than gaming?. I don't do games

Yes you can. dumaOS makes it easy to setup and configure your network and router settings. The dumaOS adds a bit more to the price vs the Netgear X4S (which is the exactly the same router in terms of hardware spec). If you want to save a bit of money, go for the netgear X4S, which is also a fantastic router. Good luck.

Q: Should I buy this router or keep my x8 router

The X8 looks like it has more capacity. They're both mu-mimo and the x8 has 6 ports opposed to 4. One of the big reasons I bought this was the operating system (look up Netduma). So far haven't had any issues - even just watching youtube haven't had the buffering and quality issues I had just using my AC1900 modem router. If you're not having issues you may want to stay with what you got, but if you want the benefits of the dashboard and operating system, and have the money, you can give it a try,

Q: How do you compare xr500 to orbi, please?

The Orbi is a mesh router, designed for covering irregular, obstacle dense, or large areas with wi-fi network. Mesh router systems are expandable, meaning you can buy more units to extend your network seamlessly. If you do not need the expansion capabilities of mesh routers, a standard router such as the XR500 is more suitable.

Q: Can i run a connection from an existing router via Ethernet to it and have two routers

As others have said, yes you can. In my particular setup, my original router is also my modem from our fiber internet provider, so the option to directly replace it wasn’t there. I hardwired the Nighthawk to port 1 on the original router, booted it up, and configured as a secondary router. It was smart enough to see that another router existed in the network, and so assigned itself another internal IP network map of 10.0..... so as not to conflict with the original 192.168..... overall it’s an awesome router, especially with the DumaOS to configure each individual device and modify its capabilities, I highly recommend it.
