Networking XG1v4 with Xi6

I have a Motorola MB8600 & a Asus RT-AX86U. For TV  I have a Arris XG1v4 & a Arris Xi4. I don't use the DVR function of the XG1v4. The Xi4 is connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Would connecting the XG1v4 with an ethernet cable improve the way either of my boxes function?

The XG series are standalone boxes with their own built-in modems and must connect to a cable connection. Even if they have Ethernet ports on them, those ports are not enabled.

The Xi6 only has an ethernet connecter in addition to wifi, no coax connector. The XG1v4 has an ethernet & a coax connector, not sure about wifi. Both boxes get decent TV signals. I'm not sure if the Xi6 communicates with the XG1v4 or through the modem.
