Wifi Router Not Negotiating to Gigabit. Wifi Stuck at 100mbps on 1000mbps connection.

I am using a weirdo Accesspoint, Router, Modem combo from the ISP I needed to extend my wifi through out the house so I bought a few TP-Link 5Ghz Wifi Routers to do that I made one of the Routers as my main router and used rest of them as access points. Now my modem does not negotiate a full gigabit throughput to the main router hence capping my whole network to 100Mbps but connecting to the modem directly gets me the full 1000 Mbps how can I fix this? 

 

Also I haven't turned the internal DHCP server of the ISP provided combo should I turn it off and use it solely as a modem or I should use the modem as a modem and router and all the TP-Link ones as access points.

Id put the ISP box in to bridge mode which makes it in to just a modem. Use one of those TP Link routers in router mode, with the other in AP mode. Also check the specs on the TP Link routers, make sure they specifically state 1 Gbps on the ports. There are still networking gear that only do 100 Mbps, so you will want to make sure. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Using speed test as well as the status leds on the modem lets me know if the connected device is using 10/100 or 10/100/1000

Update: So I checked out Donut's suggestions and he was correct the routers do mention 10/100 on the lan and wan ports so I am out of luck with those. Now I don't want to spend 500$+ on access points like in my office so any suggestions for good Wifi Routers for around 100$.
