Yeah, that is certainly the case. All any internal gear needs to do is provide plenty of bandwidth for video streaming (Native BD quality) to a couple of devices at once and WAN wise as we are on fixed wireless (Which unfortunately I have to say that it is becoming congestion hell in peak times) all a gateway/router has to manage is to pass a max of 50mb/sec data rate inbound and about 20 out (At the best of times, more like 40/15) and anything beyond that is in improvement on paper only.

The only advantage to a GigE router would be the ability to hang more stuff off it at full (Internal) speed if we run short on switch ports (Which I currently am, so the wireless APs are on router ports not the GigE switch)
