Any N600 has 300mbps on the 2.4 band and the 5ghz band. That is 300 for send and receive so max real throughput is 150 mbps; in the same room as the router you might get 100 or very optimistcally 115-120. Adding a couple walls in its path and that will quickly drop to half.

If being able to achieve the 125 mbps transfer is most important then get one of the routers I listed earlier.

EDITED:
If you were choosing the Netgear now I would say to get the TPLINK one as Netgears N600 degraded in quality with each version.

To get 125mbps actual bandwidth you will need something that can do 600mbps or better on a single band.

I have an ASUS RT-AC68P(R, U, W versions are just as good as the P), it is rock solid and I love it. It has 600mbps on 2.4 band and 1300 on 5ghz band. This router runs for $150-180 new.

The only one I would recommend for cheaper would be a TP link Archer C7 which is around $100.

ADDED:
My router can do actual 200-250 mbps to the intel 7260 wifi cards in my laptops.
