802.11N has a transmission rate of 300Mbps.
The router needs to connect to a wired network uplink to the Internet, odds are that connection is 100Mbps Ethernet.
The upstream bandwidth (from you to the Internet) is typically in the 300Kbps (.3Mbps) range.
The down stream bandwidth (Internet to you) is typically in the 3Mbps - 7Mbps range for cable, less for DSL.
For the typical consumer Internet connection, the performance of the router is a non-issue.
In your private network, your wireless devices will be able to communicate with 300Mbps "raw" bandwidth. That raw bandwidth is consumed by the data you want to send and also by over head associated with each piece of data. Data networks send data in little chunks called frames. Each frame carries overhead such as sender address, destination address, protocol ids, quality of service markings, checksums and other various information about each frame. Depending on the protocol being used as much as 40% of a frame may be overhead. That is why throughput estimates are only that, estimates. A data network is an awful lot like a highway system, where each vehicle on the highway is a "frame". Highway works great with few vehicles on it, put a bunch on or have an accident or damage to the road or any number of things can screw up traffic.

It depends how hard you throw it.
