Hello, your current D-Link router supports 10/100 Mbps WAN and LAN. Your ISP offers 300 Mbps, so a new router with 5GHz and 1000 Mbps WAN and LAN should work well. Yes, it will provide full speed of 300 Mbps.

We cannot confirm your choice without knowing the specific router or AP model you're acquiring.

I need to connect them using a RJ45 cable and I'm unsure whether I'll receive 100mgbs or 300mgbs.

I have never heard of this brand, but looking at the specification page of this router, you can see support for: Full 1Gbps at the WAN and LAN ports 300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz, 867 Mbps at 5 GHz So it should be sufficient if your internet connection has a maximum 300Mbps download. However, keep in mind that that number is a best case scenario; many other factors can result in slower speeds. A wired connection will usually give you the fastest and most reliable connection. As for wireless, the maximal speed will be determined by signal reception, interference and distance from the access point. Try to put as many devices on the 5GHz band for higher potential speeds. 2.4GHz works better over greater distances at less speed.

The router you pick must have 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, and the wireless technologies it backs need speeds over 300 Mbps. Then it can make the most of your ISP connection.

It varies based on how the ISP delivers the broadband. Are you using the existing router or a modem? Is the modem compatible with 300Mbit and Gigabit ports? You can test by connecting your PC directly to the modem to confirm performance.

The issue is that your modem lacks gigabit ports, so linking your router won’t provide the full 300 Mbps speed.

If any link in the network isn't gigabit and offers just 100Mbps, your maximum speed will stay at 100Mbps no matter what your provider gives you.

It seems you'll have to ask your ISP to swap out your modem, though I think they'll do it after you place the quicker service order.
