After much arguing with netgear via their technical support and going though multiple employee's who insisted that all routers have a minimum of 10/100 Base-T connection and therefore all support up to 100 megabit broadband.
Finaly i lost my temper with them lieing to me because of their lack of understanding. Telling them that if i where to buy their products based on this false information they would be in violation of consumer rights, I finally got through to someone who knew the answer!
Maybe an admin would like to put some of this information in a sticky for all to read so please take a look at the e-mail i received below. I've yet to receive a reply from Belkin, D-link, or linksys but i will post this information on here when i finally force it out of them lol.

3. WNR854T: 148 mbps

So there we go we now know what which netgear products support 20 megabit and are future safe for the up and coming 50 megabit broadband connections.

I do hope someone finds this useful and thank all those who read and those who replied to my thread.
