If you're trying to get 1Gb on two devices at the same time, it's not going to give you a total of 2Gb throughput.
Unless, you're trying to get 1 Gb across one device at a time when both are connected to the router, then I can see an issue.
Do you have a dedicated wired network card, or are you running this through your motherboard?
Have you tried updating drivers?
Do you have any other network devices on your desktop that you can connect with?
But yeah, I would be happy with 500 mbps, or buy a proper network card. If your chromebook is getting proper speeds while wired, then I'd agree that the issue is with your desktop.

Using the motherboard port with up to date drivers (not updated in years). Unfortunately I have nothing else on the desktop.
Chromebook has no ethernet but wireless AC speeds are matching my wired speeds to the desktop hence why I figured it was the desktop.
Thanks !LittleDragon for the great info. I read that ars technica article and was very intrigued, but in the end I figured to just be happy with what I'm getting. It's not like I'm paying a premium over Shaw/Telus to have the extra speed, so I shouldn't fret to much.
