Hello sarahprecipice,
Welcome to the community!
The FVS318v3 can only accommodate up to a maximum of 7Mbps internet speed. My recommendations are the following:
FVS318Gv2 - LAN-to-WAN throughput - 250Mbps
FVS318N (Wireless) - LAN-to-WAN throughput - 250Mbps
FVS336Gv3 (Dual WAN) - LAN-to-WAN throughput - 350Mbps
SRX5308 (Quad WAN) - LAN-to-WAN throughput - 924Mbps
These firewalls can accomodate your internet speed (25Mbps) or higher as indicated above. All of these models have gigabit ports already, the gigabit ports are for the LAN (not WAN) and used for the local network communication.
Let us know if you have questions.
Thanks,
