What speeds do you get on this site:

I am Not sure what is that you have in term of LAN and Internet since your description is not detailed enough.

At the time using 1GB/sec is only a LAN capacity and it works well when your Computers are using Wire LAN Cards that are 1GB capable (Wireless LAN is Not 1GB capable) and the switches that are used for LAN are 1GB capable too.

WAN (Internet) should Not be set to 1GB.

As for the Internet connection it might be that it does not go over 100MB/sec due to an old Modem limitation. Many of the ISPs supplied Modems have to be replaced by newer ones in order to support Speed over 100 MB/sec.
