Router for 60Mbps Internet

[owensdj]

I need to find a new wireless router that's able to max out a 60Mbps down/4Mbps up Internet connection on the wired ethernet ports. The TRENDnet TEW-733GR has the features I need, but I can't find any reviews that test its throughput. Any ideas?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but 60/4 internet shouldn't be hard to hit on any modern consumer router using the wired ports. My DIR-655 from 2006 can easily max my 60/5 connection in both directions.

This. Almost any router can handle that.
I would be more concerned about what router can handle 60/5 via wireless.

Since you asked for reviews...

asus RT-N66U handles my 100/100 connection just fine via N wireless

I get around +/- 60/50Mbps through my Asus RT-N66U over wireless. I'm currently on a 100/100Mbps fiber line.

ImDonly1 thanks for the review link. That's what I was wanting to see: WAN to LAN Throughput. I don't see the router I was considering, but I do see a TRENDnet with a similar price, and it's doing over 261Mbps. I assume the TRENDnet TEW-733GR would be similar.

Yes. I would assume that. I can't think of any routers made in the last 5 years, possible not in the last 10, that couldn't handle at LEAST 100Mbps up and down.

You don't really start seeing issues until you start shuffling over about 150-200Mbps WAN-LAN or LAN-WAN, especially depending on the protocol. Most modern ones with a gigabit WAN port should handle up through 200Mbps just fine, no matter the protocol. After that, it gets very dependent on the router hardware and the protocol in use (a lot of routers struggel with PPPoE. Atheros/Qualcomm chipsets seem to have very good PPPoE hardware offload so it doesn't really seem to slow them down, others struggle to hit 200-250Mbps when they can hit 700-900Mbps WAN DHCP).
