I was looking to find out what the throughput of the WAN is on my Linksys EA4500 router today and found a good site with good information and comparison.

With the virgin service soon to offer 300 Mbps I found that my router can only deliver 254 Mbps, so a new router is on the cards to go with the sh3 in modem mode.

I have never had any problems with any Linksys routers i have owned so i am interested in the EA6900 which should see me for the forceable future with a throughput of 923 Mbps WAN to LAN at £99 on amazon. Although the NETGEAR R7000 nighthawk looks good and ranks higher but another £40, the maximum silmilatanus connections are more than double.

I was rightfully recommended from this forum to use my own router which was excellent advice, what thoughts have people got on this subject or does the router you use now deliver throughput for the 300 Mbps service?
