Ethernet Adapter speed

[Principalsec]

I have been battling with my internet provider for over a year now, yesterday they tell me my laptop is at fault! 

The problem is my internet speed, on wireless I get around 140mbs, but when hardwired to my router I only get 90mbs at best? My provider now tell me it is due to my ethernet adapter, it is only capable of 100mbs.

If this is the case, how do I increase the speed, or replace the adapter?

Hi,

What is your Pavilion 17 ?  Please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

It may only have 10/100 port and replace it means replace the motherboard - very expensive - Many machines now don't have (wied) NIC port (I've got a least threee machines) and my option is to use USB - 1G adapter which is similar to the following one:
