The problem with ping is that is many things impact it. Ping is simply the time measurement of when you send a signal to a server until you get it back. If you're simply going from your computer---router---isp-back then its short trip and therefore a short ping. If you're adding in multiple servers (like gaming servers) that it has to go through or those servers are located further away, the ping time increases. Or if you're adding in multiple hops like going from computer---extender---router--modem. Every hop adds a little more ping time.
Things that can help with your current setup? Hardwire the xbox directly into the router.
Or you can try upgrading to a gaming router that runs dumaOS. Its optmized to reduce ping but it still isn't going to help a ton.
