What router have you got now?  Most routers made in the last 20 years have at least 10/100 on them, more recent ones have 10/100/1000.

10/100 isnt enough. Too slow.

Do you even need to change the router?  Just get a gigabit switch.  And avoid wifi if you're that concerned about network throughput, of course.

You really need to provide some more detail about your current setup - which router, which NAS, which devices are using the NAS and how - wired or wireless, what is the problem you are trying to fix
