Are CAT6 cables like this noticeably stiffer and less flexible than CAT5E?

The manufacturing process of cat6 makes them a bit stiffer and thicker. They are still 24g UTP cable just wrapped tighter (hence the extra stiffness) and have an isolator between pairs causing a bit bulkier stature. They can be bent as much/less as any cat 3-6 cable can be so there are no limitations between them.

will this work with a century link modem and router to boost the wifi connection?

RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER-CABLE MATTERS: These cables work to connect your devices for a more stable network connection than Wifi. But it does not function to boost a wifi connection.
