I am definitely not maximizing my broadband service, and I need some advice. I have these components right now:

Modemhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825120101
Routerhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825120101&Tpk=befcmu10
Adapterhttp://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16833180052

The adapter is new, and has a max data rate of 300 Mbps. The router seems to have a max rate of 11 Mbps, so unless I'm reading it wrong I need a new router. If I go ahead and get this router:

... then technically it's capable of matching the 300Mbps of my network adapter.

Now it's unlikely I'm getting anything close to that coming from my service provider, but am I correct that the router I have now maxes out at 11Mbps? Anyone have better recommendations?
