so its only connecting at 100mbps speeds. 

Try replacing the cable between the modem and the router. Make sure to use a good quality cat 5e or cat 6 cable. 

Whats connected the lan port as its only connect at 100mbps speeds too.

      How about powering OFF the ISP modem and MR for 1 minute then back ON with the modem first, then the MR. Then check the WAN Port speed on the MR.
