Honestly: the bandwidth for any router I've had (linksys, which has always had a built-in switch [because I refuse to have a hub]), has been 100MBit/s [hardwired] -- mind you, I have that exact wireless router hooked up behind a hardwire-only router of mine from years ago -- I've never had any network slowdown.

But just so you know, if you're on a cable internet connection (that is to say, connected via coax cable), you're never going to actually hit your 1mbps/10mpbs cap. Cable is a shared internet connection, so you're not the only person on that coax cable, just the only one on that portion of it.

If you have FIOS, however, you're not really going to be slowed down by anyone else on the line, you just won't necessarily hit your peak because of either hardware limitations or server limitations in regard to speed.

IMO: don't bother buying a new router if you have one that works perfectly fine, unless you're just looking for better wireless speed (wireless B < G < N and better) -- which if you are, you might want to make sure all the PCs that are going to connect to your wireless network are all the same speed, otherwise it'll cause the wireless the throttle-down to the speed of the slowest client that's connected.
