finding the right type if router for my devices.
I have just change to a 1000M connection using fiber
I am using the tplink 740 with 150M speed wireless router.
I have a notebook, Asus zenbook
Imac desktop
IPhone 4 and 5
Samsung galaxy s3
Ipad 1 and mini
to have the fastest speed my devices can achieve do I need to change to another wireless router?
My current download speed is around 15 to 20 Mbps
Will i see big difference with gigalan support?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "1000M connection using fiber"?
What does your ISP give you for speeds?

1Gbps direct, nice. Can you post a result from www.speedtest.net
So basically, most SOHO routers have a 100Mbps WAN port, that's going to be your bottleneck.
I haven't looked around for routers with a 1Gbps WAN port, not sure if there are any SOHO routers like that..

While I don't know of anything that is SOHO that is able to route/NAT gigabit at gigabit speeds... If you do have a 1gig connection then yes using gig inside will show a difference. 20Mbps is only 2% of your connection. There basically isn't any [soho] wireless tech at this time that can do 1g so you would need cables to actually use it all, at least on one device.

The "Marketing Geniuses" probably mean that the Fiber is capable to do 1GB but that does not necessarily mean that your feed is going to be 1GB.
In any case - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12262/index.html

Maybe you've got a 1gb connecion but you're throttled to 100mb?
