Welcome to the community, bambam4
The WAN or Internet port of the WNR2000v5 is capable of up to 100Mbps only.
It cannot exceed 100Mbps. The 300Mbps is about the wireless connection speed between the router and your wireless clients.
For you to maximize the speed that are subscribed into, you will need to upgrade your router to a different model.
See the link below for a list of routers and check their information.
