I don't have specific data for India, we don't live there and also don't collect data like this from the routers. It also depends on every users setup as to how drastic the performance enhancements will be.

That's very hard to say because all connections are different and there are many factors. Generally if you do a wired speedtest.net test direct from the modem with nothing else being used then you could expect roughly 20ms on top of that figure. That also depends on where the closest server to you is located as that could increase with distance.

My concern here was I am getting ping range 35-40 already with my basic airtel fiber 200mbps connection on SEA servers where generally use to play.and if I am going to invest around 300$ and it won't serve the purpose then it's not worth for me.all I am looking is whether I will be getting lesser noticable ping with xr500 router.i am looking for real life results after spending 300$ if I won't get even 25 pings it will not worth for me.
My connection is so far very stable and didn't fluctuate that much and have enough up and down for my uses so not focusing on these issues.

For your reference...Through Okla test server when I use to test my connection it's showing 3 to 4 pings but while gaming it coming to 35-40 ping.

That likely will be the closest server to you, the Geo-Filter could make sure you get that server every time as sometimes you may be placed elsewhere. The other feature that has a chance of getting your ping down is QoS if you suffer from local congestion e.g. you have lots of devices connected and when they use the internet they cause you to lag. We could eliminate that. If you don't then we couldn't lower the ping per se but ensure you have the best connection on your end as possible.

True! But I don't know why I am still not convinced.
May i have the real life data of this router performance from indian region??
I mean in-game performance like pubg Fortnite..I will be very much convinced if I get these data.
