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?

Yes I’m hardwired and I can’t stand lag and bad latency which I’m trying to fix and I have upgraded internet and doesn’t seem to help

The router would be able to solve two major causes of lag:
Distance to game servers & local congestion. So in that way it can optimize your connection as much as possible. If you have inherent issues with the ISP then the router couldn't help with that. It might help make it more bearable but that issue would still be there.
