what router do you have?
Have you tried replacing the cable between router and switch? Make sure its a cat5e or greater cable to ensure its gigabit. A cat 5 cable will only* connect at 100mbps.
whare are the led's on the switch showing? (both lights green=gigabit only one=100mbps)
*some will hit gigabit but they tend to be short and higher quality ones. Rare
