The DIR-615 is definitely, definitely only capable of 100Mbit. The wireless is capable of more, but the catch is the WAN port (that the SHUB will connect into) is only rated at 100Mbit so that's as much as you can get from the internet.

You've not got many options, but in order of preference (least to most), here they are:

* Accept that you'll only get those speeds (free)
* Ditch the DIR-615 and use the SHUB in router mode (also free, also not a very good option)
* Try calling retentions (Not tech support) and begging a SH2 from them. You MAY get it for free as you're on 120meg but it's very dependant on which agent you get. Might be free, might not be. Some people are luckier than others, some have to just pay postage. I'd say try your luck.
* Ditch the DIR-615 and buy a better router with gigabit ports. There's a TP-link that's popular for about £50, or the router of choice is the Asus RT-N66U which can be had for about £100 depending on where you look.
