Retail consumer routers are just that, made for the home. It has taken a bit of time to get better hardware in them to be able to sustain the higher throughput not to mention if the firewall has decent protection (the more firewall inspection the more processing is required). High end retail consumer units will likely work at 1Gbps but I doubt they are designed with constant 1Gbps throughout in mind. Most times no one is saturating a connection at high bandwidth anyway except for speedtests and those are not full duplex.
I don't have any recommendations. My own router has a 250Mbps limitation (even though it has a physical 1Gbps link) and my connection is 300. I don't have any issues.
