You already have the fastest connection possible.
What are you lacking?

EDIT: Are you thinking about Wi-Fi? If you want speed, you get the best speed using gigabit Ethernet, not wireless.

1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), and must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6).
Gigabit Wi-Fi can not match this range unless you employ special antennas, which may defeat the purpose of Wi-Fi.

To extend the range of a fiber system, you use more fiber.

I have used Net gear, Linksys and D-link routers. They are work as advertised. ome can do up to 150 Mbps. You might want to look into the gigabit wireless units, but the range is limited. Here is a Netgear for about $80 and claims to be a gigabit router. I have been happy with my Netgear router similar to this one.

I can't suggest any in particular but stick to reputable, popular brands.

A 54mbps wireless G router with 10/100 ethernet for a fibre to the premises connection?
