How i can replace the old router with new one?
I have a fiber router from iSP but the signal is weak, I decide to buy a new router (WIFI 6)
I need to connect the new router without replacing the old one, also I want to put it beside them (In the same place) and turn off the old WLAN.
the question is what the best configuration to make it works without conflict IP and without removing the old one ?

Then you can go for this scenario.
That way the device is still in router mode, and you can avoid the double NAT in your network.
Connection in that case would be LAN to LAN (Not LAN to WAN as previously commented).

I'm a little confused by your answer, actually which method is better to set the Archer C80 or AX50 routers to work better as Access point devices?
Is it better in case 1 or case 2
I'm interested in this because I have 3 pieces of Archer C80 that work in Access Point mode and connected as in case 2, so I'm interested if I switch them to work in Router mode and connect as you said in case 1, then I wouldn't have a problem with interrupting the Wi-Fi signal in short when I move from one AP point to another AP point?
Thanks!

Actually they are different scenarios.
Case 1 is for older router models which don't have a dedicated Operation Mode: AP.
In newer router devices there's a dedicated AP mode - hence you can use Case 2, but that dosn't mean you can't use Case 1.
The difference is that in Case 2 the device has limited features available.
Regarding your question - using Case 1 scenario won't solve interrupting the Wi-Fi signal when moving between different devices.
To be able to solve that you have to use some of the mesh technologies like OneMesh or Deco.
