   Eh? You are confusing wireless and wired. A wired port running at 100Mb   
   will connect to a wired port running at 1000Mb bit the data will only   
   flow at the rate of the lowest speed port in use, in this instance it   
   has NOTHING to do with wi-fi.   
      
   Agreed there are wireless routers that can achieve wireless speeds well   
   above 100Mb (usually in the 5GHz radio band) but I don't know of any   
   capable of 1000Mb. Indeed even routers with radio rated over 100Mb will   
   be seriously limited by other factors such as signal strength, signal   
   quality, and the rate at which the rest of system can handle the data flow.
