Should I get CM1000 and XR500
I currently have the C7000 Modem/Router combo and have frequent internet speed drops. My ping is usually around 88ms. I have my xbox one hardwired to it but everything else is connected wirelessly....
If you're referring to the ping in internet settings on the Xbox it's only the ping to authentication servers - it's not indicative of your game ping.
The XR500 will ensure that local congestion is never an issue and the Geo-Filter will ensure the closest possible server - those two features combined give you the best connection possible.
The frequent speed drops is however down to your ISP and not something any router could fix. If you're basing that on the Xbox test though console speed tests are inaccurate, you should do it from a wired PC.

Yeah my Xbox will ping 47 to 80ms when it comes to speed testing but when gaming I'm doing about 18-24ms ping. That's because if you watch the Geo-Filter when running the speed test it's routing all the way to Seattle Washington for the test. But when gaming your connecting to the closest server usually.
