Do i need upgrade for 200 Mbps ?

Well the router will be limited to it's hardware specifications. Plugging directly in will always work, but you lose the ability to connect anything else. However, if networking other devices is not a concern plugging directly in will give you the lowest latency connection which actually helps you. Good luck with your faster bandwidth.
 
Just be careful plugging it directly into your PC since that exposes your computer to the internet without the firewall and other security features of the router. If you do the direct connection, you should have a software firewall on the PC at the very least.
 
Gateways (integrated modem/router) have same security features as separate routers.
 
No they don;'t they don't have captive portals or RADUIS/AD server support also they lack VLANS.

Even my WDN4500V2 doesn't ave VLANs unless you get alternate firmware.

But My Cisco Meraki Z1 has FULL VLANS and it wa only 160USD

Doesn't ddwrt support vlans? Pretty sure I have one on my netgear 3700 dd-wrt.
 
If you have a spare machine with a gig port then Pfsense supports vlans.
