What are the usb ports for?

usb ports can be used to plug in an external hard drive to be then be used as your own cloud data to be accessed anywhere

Anyway to find out if it is compatable with sepctrum?

This is a router so it's compatible with any internet provider. What you're thinking of is a modem, I'd recommend the Motorola sb7621 if you have service below 600 Mbps or Motorola sb8200 if you have 1gbps speed.

gigabit fiber compatible?

Yep. I have Spectrum Gigabit and it maxes out at 940Mbps download which is full speed gigabit. The upload speeds are usually around 30-40Mbps but this is due to Spectrum and not a fault of the router.

Is there any performance or feature difference between this red edition of the ax-86u and the previous ax-86u black edition?

There's absolutely no performance difference, it is just aesthetic. The red router is just a special edition one for people who like Gundam. If your not into that, just get the regular black one, you're good.
