We need a router that will work best with our 300Mbps internet for an approximately 1400 sq. ft. home. Would the R6020 AC750 Dual Band WiFi Router be a good fit for us? There's only two of us in the household, and we typically only have one TV streaming at a time. TIA!

I'd say no. Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in that model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual or the Product Data Sheet. Look for the Ethernet port speeds. I see specifications like the following (from the Product Data Sheet):
Five (5) 10/100Mbps (1 WAN and 4 LAN) Fast Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology
Where "Fast Ethernet" means faster than the typical speeds in 1985.
If your Internet connection is faster than 100Mb/s, then you should probably look for a router with "gigibit" (1000Mb/s = 1Gb/s) Ethernet ports. I wouldn't limit my search to Netgear, either.
> [...] we typically only have one TV streaming at a time.
I'd expect 10Mb/s to satisfy that requirement, but if I were paying for a 300Mb/s connection, then I'd want at least some probablity of getting more than a third of that.
