Router for connection?

[TeddyRufStuffontwitch]

I am clueless, so I apologize to start! I have just updraded my internet to 1g connection previously had 100mbs. My router wont push past 100 and on my speedtest.net I pull 11megabytes. My question is. What router would I need to pick up to ensure I can get my 100 megabytes out of my connection. When I hardwire to the modem I get the 99 megabyte download speed on speed test. but once I hit the router I cant pass 11megabytes. I was told I needed to upgrade my router, but alas I am unsure about which one to purchase. Any help would be simply amazing, thank you!

Before any of us spend time on yet another one of these questions, please be sure you are not confusing bits with bytes, and not confuse INTERnet vs INTRAnet speeds.

If your ISP indeed is selling your >100 megabits service, then ALL of your pieces, including the WAN router, must be gigabit capable and you should be running CAT5e or better cabling.

Yes I am not confused I apologize for bringing it up again I type in router and a few other searches and couldnt find my question I assumed it had been asked just couldnt find it as I am new here and generally lost I apologize again. I am just trying to get the full capability from my internet speed. Basically trying to find the proper router. I currently have a netgear n300. I gather from your answer you have answered it multiple times lol. Didn't mean to sandy yah up any at all there buddy. No the router I have is not gigabit capable so I will search for a gigabit capable router, thank you.
