It would be helpful if you first told us which router you're presently using, which speed tier you're subscribed to, and any other details that might allow a reasonable response. Don't be shy, we don't bite.

If you have a Revision F or older ActionTec router, or a Westell 9100EM, Verizon will ship a new router to you if your old one is not able to handle the speed while wired in. Basically, this is any package above 75Mbps/35Mbps where the router requires Gigabit networking. You shouldn't expect to get your speeds Wirelessly, so please don't use this as a benchmark. In an effort to get the most out of Wireless, though, you may want to consider hanging a cheap router set up in a bridge, or an access point off of your FiOS router using a Wired connection. Something like this can be done for around $35 and a few minutes time, and can maintain support Verizon already provides. Not to mention, far less headache and pain.
