Network Card support only 100mbps but want it to support 1000mbps(1Gbps)

[Soh Jianke]

My laptop can support up to 100mbps via Ethernet
Fibre plan is 1Gbps
How to make my computer support faster speed?

My Laptop can only support 100mbps via Ethernet because of my network card, my Fibre BB will be 1Gbps(1000mbps) how to make it support 1Gbps(1000mbps) will a USB 3.0 to Ethernet work?

What laptop is this?  I've never seen a laptop that is new enough to support USB 3.0 yet doesn't have Gigabit ethernet.  Where are you seeing that it only supports 100mbps ethernet?  That said a USB 3.0 adapter would work but not as well as something built into the machine.

I have a 6 year old Dell laptop that has Gigabit ethernet, and it's not even a top end model. Make and model please.

I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop about 4 months ago and it only came with a 100mbs Ethernet port.  Would have liked to get the gigabit port but it had everything else I was looking for at the price I was looking for so bought it regardless.  It has USB 3.0 and wasn't some deep discounted older model, it's from their current lineup.

The OP should be able to add 1gb capability with an adapter like this: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=11195&gclid=Cj0KEQiAqemzBRDh2vGKmMnqoegBEiQAqJPuyP3u4Zhl3TJ6pUi_klj14o4lqXFEVSM_ZQAtttUo9fYaAjGD8P8HAQ
