Will buying a new router increase my ping?

[princetigerpeep]

I'm planning to buy the Asus RT-AC88U router. Will this make my ping in playing steam better? My current router is a linksys E4200

No it will not improve your ping. The latency/ping depends upon how far is the server and how fast the data is transmitted in every action in the game. So, on changing the router there will be no change in the ping.
