Depending what real world speed I achieved if I upgraded to 1000mb it would make me consider whether to invest in a replacement router or not. If I got 700mbits I wouldn't be too worried about feeling like I am losing out on 300mbits because you have got to ask yourself how often you are actually going to hit 1000mbits and depending what you are downloading file size wise it might last all of a few seconds. If I got 1000mbits (isn't available yet) I would be getting it for the increased upload speed and not the download speed.

If you let me know which router you have got I'll look it up for you and let you know what the wan to lan throughput is.

I wasn't particularly complaining about getting less than expected speeds at this stage, but it would be good to see that the connection is behaving properly.

I have an ASUS RT-AC88U - capable of more than 1GB.
