Help! I just paid $60 more for 1GB internet but my nighthawk won't take it

I know that there are posts about this, but I can't seem to figure this out.

 

I just paid $60 more to get 1GB, but my nighthawk AX8 is not pushing out 1GB. 

 

a) Is it even possible for the nighthawk AX8 to push out a 1GB wi-fi signal?

b) If so, how do I do this?

    1. What actual router do you have? the label will have the model number on it? 

    2. Your not going to hit gigabit speeds over wireless. Wired...yes. Wireless....no. 

    If you want to find out why not, read a bit on this site for information on wireless misconceptions.
