Does router speed affect ping?

I currently own a 150 Mbps router, and I am playing MW3 on PS3 with about 75ms to 100ms ping. Does getting a new 300 Mbps router make a big difference? Would it reduce my lag?

What Was Your Favorite Part of the Hogwarts Game?

I LOVED Keeper Niamh's trail. When she initially said it may be familiar to a story I heard as a child, I about lost my mind. The Tale of Three Brothers is one of my favorite parts in the movies and playing it [somewhat] out in a storybook-like animation was awesome to me. I liked the change up in atmosphere and objectives compared to the previous two trials as well. IMO it was brilliantly done with incorporating more stealth and the balancing it with combat at the end made it stand out for me. Question from user bluephoenix1 . . . [More]

Is there any difference between a TV and a monitor in regard to input latency?
