Has not been a problem until recently when I am running streaming options and experience the spinning wheel of death/pausing/loading and some no connection at all. Hence the need to pursue higher modem speeds.

From specs:
Recommended for Internet Plans up to 100 Mbps.
So internet speed at the pc or laptop is dependent upon all equipment between the wire coming into the house to the computer/laptop.
From your descriptions, all your equipment is not new enough to support the incoming bandwidth. I would recommend getting all new equipment which supports 1 GB speeds, including the modem in the laptop or tower. . etc.
good luck
