Even Comcast business class top of the line option is only 50mb/s. If you have any device to device transfers(inside the router) like from one pc to another then and only then will port speeds make a difference. And, in such a case a gigabit switch would still be much cheaper and easier than replacing the router.
Thank you for your help.

This is the modem that I have.

Will a port switch work with this modem and allow me to use the TV and computer at the same time?

Thanks again.
