I apologise if you have already said this, but what grade of Ethernet cable or patch cables are you using in your network? You need at least CAT5e to support Gb speeds. You might check the capacity of any switches you have in the system too.
You might also check that your device network adaptors are configured to receive 1Gbs. In a PC that would be ensuring that TCP/IP is configured to Full Duplex 1Gbs, rather than automatic. I don't know MACs, so can't comment on them.
I agree with rtho782 regarding QoS. This is only really needed if you are sharing limited bandwidth between a number of devices, such as gaming systems. With 1GBs you need to turn QoS off, or it will peg your speed back to 500Mb or less.
You need to check if your router WAN/LAN throughput is sufficient to manage 1GBs. Smallnet builder stopped reviewing routers a couple of years ago. Maybe yours is listed. If so, its throughput will be listed.
