I'm a fan of the RBK50 series. They work great. I didn't notice much difference going from my 50 series to the RBK750 series. I did going to the rbke963 series but that's a huge cost difference. And a lot depends on what your device is. Its not usually the router that is the bottleneck in speeds but your phone/tablet/computer.

As you stat I think it's the modem which is only rated at 120mbs but I get over 220. Cable company recommends an upgrade on that hardware which will support upto 1Gb but the basic servive I would recieve would still be 300mbs. With just swapping out the modem I should see some difference.
