Would this router help me for gaming if I have a nighthawk modem/router being used now and then add this gaming router? Will it be pointless or help?

I have a modem one because the internet provider uses cable to being internet in so I have bad latency and lag with it right now and was wondering if I added this router to it and gamed off of Xr1000 it would get rid of lag and bad latency

Cable (coax) doesn't tend to have bad latency.
Who's your isp?
What modem/gateway are you using?
What testing latency do you get?
What speeds (upload/download) do you pay for?
What speeds do you get hardwired into the MODEM?
What speeds hardwired into the router?
And what router do you have?
