Also check output from dmesg, ethtool, mii-tool to confirm if the link is 
negotiated as 1Gbps half or full duplex when you connect your PC to the 
router, as opposed to when you connect directly to the modem.  BTW, even as 
full duplex, a 100Mbps connection will give you a throughput < 100Mbps no 
matter how enthusiastic it is.  For example, on my home network (100baseT 
switch) on a full duplex link:

$ dmesg | grep duplex
[   19.420820] tg3 0000:0b:00.0 enp11s0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex

... I never see more 96Mpbs data throughput.
