I've got the RBR50 and haven't had issues hitting my gigabit speeds. This isn't true for all though.

One thing you can try is to test it with a hardwired computer that you know can hit gigabit speeds (older pc's can't) and to test with a site capable of maxing out gigabit. I've had issues with the straight speedtest.net site not being able to hit the full speeds. Try speedtest.xfinity.com  or speedtest.googlefiber.net  

I've had better luck with these sites being able to saturate my line. 

another thing to check is if you're getting full speeds from the modem. If you can't pull gigabit directly off the modem, the router isn't going to either. If you connect directly to the modem, what speeds do you get?
