Did troubleshooting update the drivers of your NIC? You can get the make and model of your NIC via the same run command and research...or post. If no drivers available, you could disable then re-enable...then uninstall then re-install...the NIC.
I don't think manufacturers have sold Fast Ethernet computers in decades.
thanks for the suggestions.
running the troubleshoot came back with no issues and it did not have to update my NIC drivers. I do not think I want to uninstall that NIC driver at this time, may lead to other issues - such as not able to find / download / install the correct driver.
The Dell Support Assist software broke and is no longer able to run, so it is no longer able to update my drivers.
see reply above - my modem/router works at 150 Mbps. I have a company laptop that is able to go above 100 Mbps. It is only my own Dell laptop that is limited to 100 Mbps. Also if I use 5 GHz Wifi, I am able to get over 100 Mbps. So it is definitely the NIC card in my own Dell laptop that seems to be the issue.

It's a "soft" uninstall. The drivers will remain on your computer. You just uninstall the NIC and then reinstall.
